Desire That Shouldn’t Exist: irresistible trio
In the middle of a small yet tidy room, Aurora lay fast asleep. Her pale skin, as well as her beautiful face, would immediately make one address her as Sleeping Beauty.
It was ever so befitting of her because she actually answered the name of the fairytale character.
The only odd thing in this picture-perfect tale was the way Aurora was restlessly writhing on the bed already downed in cold sweat.
She seemed to be having a nightmare as her arms flailed aimlessly, and she groaned continuously.
Her beautiful face was morphed into a frown as tears escaped from beneath her kids and trickled down the sides of her face.
She was indeed a sorry figure, which was a far cry from the fairytale we all knew.
Soon, her body froze before she jolted awake in a sitting position.
She panted like she had just run a marathon, and her eyes searched the room frantically, looking but not seeing.
Her eyes were dazed and unfocused as she seemed to not be mentally present.
She soon regained her breath but kept staring at a blank wall facing her bed. She stayed in that position for what seemed like hours but was actually minutes.
Ring! Ring!
The alarm clock on her bedside drawer blared continuously, disturbing the eerie silence that had engulfed the room ever since Aurora woke up.
That seemed to do the trick of snapping her out of her haze and reverie as she jolted, and her eyes finally cleared up.
She shook her head and turned to the direction of her bedside drawer before reaching out and hitting the alarm clock.
Silence.
