My nightmares are a collage of regrets resurfacing to remind me who I am and what I destroyed.

It was as if the nightmares had seeped into my waking world, blurring the lines between reality and the haunting visions that plagued my sleep. Fear gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, whispering that something sinister was on the horizon. I couldn't shake the feeling that danger loomed just beyond the veil of shadows, waiting patiently to strike.

Silence wrapped around me like a noose—tightening with every hour that passed. I didn’t sleep. Not really. When my eyes did close, the nightmares came—fast and dark. Andrew’s face. His face. Their faces morphing. Their voices blending into one monstrous echo. ‘Give me a son.’

Besides, sleep could mean sleepwalking, because sleepwalking meant danger. When I could no longer resist it, sleep came, restless and full of nightmares that caused me to bolt up in bed.
