The water that was gushing out of the faucet and into my hands seemed to have a calming effect on me. I stared at myself in the mirror and saw a very disturbed Joshua Hong staring back at me. I cupped some water on my hands and splashed it on my face, hoping that it would wake me up from the nightmare I was in.
