Diary of Me  

  On May 17th, 2019, the night I woke up in a panic, was the night I saw my own face looking at me in my dream. Almost like looking at a mirror. Although the version that I was looking at in the eyes was not me anymore. Her face was expressionless. Their eyes were numb and had a sinister look to them. I woke up that night in a complete panic and my sleep has never been the same, my life was forever changed that night. 

  The following day May 18th, 2019. As the sun rose that morning, and I brushed off that dream as if it meant nothing. I continued my day as if it was normal, it felt normal. I went to school and had a typical day. As I was coming home from school that day, my friend and I were casually talking. They said I paused in the middle of my sentence and all they are were fear in my eyes. Almost as if I had seen something I wasn’t supposed to see. The scary thing I did not remember even doing that. It is as if reality just paused for a second. Then life felt normal once again.

  The following week on the 23rd, I had a recurring dream, the one from May 17th. This time though as I was looking straight into the eyes of myself, I said “Why?” to them in my dream. My eyes opened in panic. All that came out of my mouth as soon as I awoke was “Vestri 'abierunt”. As I was walking to school that day I saw a shadow behind me and all I could smell was rotten eggs, while the air was dense and cold. I turned around and saw nothing. A car drives by and as soon I looked into the window of the car door. I saw my reflection and she was standing right behind me. She was the one following me. She’s the dark shadow lingering in my life. 

  That night I started thinking, could this mean something? Or am I going insane? As I left my bathroom right after brushing my teeth, I turn off the light, and she’s right there. Standing behind me in the mirror. My hand moved so fast to turn back on that light. She was gone.
