Chapter 1
I am running into the woods, I arrived a such familiar house. It was outside of the city of Copenhagen, and I was playing hide and sick with my twins big brothers.
John and Joahana were hide somewhere, meanwhile I have to find them, so I could win those twenty crowns that they promised me.
I look all arround of such dense woods, and the ways that I choose where taking me in that house, over and over again. It was in ruins, I could see some part of it were fall, could be dangerous for them. If they decided to go in. I walk inside what it suppose to be an entrance. I saw them in between beams.
I looked to them and they jump, I can't see anything, somehow I manage to walk of that darkness, to a little brighter place. Seems a hall from a hospital, i walk there like if I were in my own house. I went to the toilet and I clean my face from the blood.
I look in the mirror, and my bother and sister where reflected there. I starlet forna moment, I turn arround and they weren't there. I look again in the mirror and they still behind of me," Run" said John.
I didn't understand why, but the lights from the toilet begain to buzz, and behing of my brothers who were dirt by their own blood and mud, a dark silhouette. I run out of the toilet, I just run arround fifty meters from the toilet, I stop and look behind in the middle of the hall, light were buzzing again.
Suddently a growl from that beast came from the darkness and the light begain to switch off in domino effect. I am scare, and I froze when some gentle hand grab mine. It was a little girl, brunet, curly hair, green eyes, she was wearing a hospital pajama.
" come, hurry up" she said. I was lost by her freckles all over her face. " come" she said again, we began to run till we arrived to my room and she lock my door, and walk away from it.
She turns to me with those innocent eyes. " wake up" she yell.
" what?"
" wake up, now!!" She scream. I turn to the bed, and I saw myself when I was seven. " wake up" she yelled again to me.
I woke up, so suddent, my breath was taken. It really felt real that dream. I looked arround Emma was sleeping, and then I look the time of my watch. Six o'clock in the morning, I see. Why did I dream in the house where my to twins brother died?, I though.
Everything was in silence, even Emma, I try to sleep a bit longer, while I am trying to calm down myself.
I still can belive, I am back to dream on the house where my twins brothers die. But I was also concern who was that little girl, and why she did she was so desperate to wake me up. Although also came the growl from the dark hall, while the light where switching off, like domino token.
I could back to sleep again, so I decided to woke up early. I prepare some coffee meanwhile, I am preparing myself to go for a run. I drank my coffee and I warm up, after that fifteen minutes I went for a quick run.
In my run I was listening a podcast about economy, it is quiet interesting that it did distracted me from my pace and distance. After back for my run, I was nine kilometers in, in fourty minutes. " new PB" chanted myself.
I decided to go upstair till the third floor. I got in my appartnent, and I took a shower. A quick one, Emma was awaking, I prepare her coffee with milk, both hot. She likes her coffee almost in the blink of boiling.
We both drank coffee in silence, as breakfast went also in silence. After that we left the apartment, and see you, I try to kiss her but she avoid it. I thought she was on that week of every month, since she get quiet distance.
I grab the bus, till my work. During that travel I was listening this podcast call cronicals horrificient. Not too horiginal the name, but the stories they actually explain are pretty good.
I arrived in office, I had three reunions and then I was doing some editions and corrections for books. I am an editor, a good one since my passion are books. Trying to help authors are my passion, since I am good at reading but not at writting the story.
My time in office pass pretty fast, it is getting dark very soon, since we change the hour and soon we will get in winter solstice. I was going to the supermarket to do some shopping, everyone puts Halloween decorations already. It is just at one week and three days till arrived the day.
My best guess, we are a contry, who loves live such tradition in the most flashy way. So we try to go bigger or don't do it. I was buying some food, while insee two kids run to their mother asking to buy a pumpkin, to do that lanter thing.
As a man on his mid twenties, and being in a relationship with a woman for four years. I do more than ever arrived the day, where I do have a little thing calling me daddy. But since Emma has a lot of job, I have to pull off many things. One of them was getting engaged with her. Turns out wasn't the best time. According to her, neither seems the kids. But I haven't lost hope that one day everything will, somehow work for me.
Like did some of my best friends. Yes, not everyone got married and kids, I can tell my best friend Sebastian is a lucky man, he got married three years ago, and now he is dad of two.
Matias, Rasmus and Martin are unknown in this aspect of life, meanwhile Erika I haven't hear nothing from her in ages. So I was always wondering when I would have one last reunion with all of them. Before my situation change.
I came back at home, I was preparing some dinner. When Emma came also back at home.
" oy you are here, ten minutes and dinner will be ready" I said, might she ain't listen to me, since she was wearing her airpods on her ears.
" ok, I am taking a shower" she answered. And walks to the room tonget her cleaned clothes and locked herself in the bath. Eight minutes later she came outside from the bathroom, and put her dirty clothes in the laundry machine, and took a sit at the table.
" how was your day?" I asked.
" aa... OK, I say so" she replaid.
" anything interesting?"
" naa.."
" do you want to see a movie or a show?"
" neither"
" are you going to sleep?"
" yeah"
" ok"
We finished to have dinner in silence, she help me to organize the table and then she kiss my cheek and go to sleep. I spend a little more time with work, till I felt tired.
