SURVIVAL JOURNEY
It was a crocodile cry, as the term goes, lol!
I felt so relieved when I was finally free.
I was finally breathing, I was alive again, after eight years of misery.
I was startled awake from my slumber, gasping and sweating and blinking my eyes. I remembered the dream I had. What was the significance of that dream? I was perplexed, then reality hit me like a hot iron rod Neil hadn't yet left.
There were still a few weeks till his departure, and there were still a few weeks until my freedom.
