People have dream catchers in their rooms because they look nice or they feel special about having something so supposedly magical hanging from their ceiling. They buy one at a souvenir shop and set it up by their bed. It looks nice. And it's cool.

That's why people call me weird. I have a small one, not really that big dangling on the window and I have it their for a reason other than mere decorative purposes. I stare at it each night and take it down each morning, carefully putting it away in my bed-side table. And I know that it's all just make believe and that I'm being ridiculous for thinking that something will happen. But deep down I hope that one day that one good dream will slip through that hole in the middle. I stare at it till midnight in hope that the dream catcher will do what it's supposed to, because it never does. I only ever have nightmares. Dream of things that haunt me and scare me.

Mum says it's because I'm depressed that I rely on inanimate objects for support and reassurance. That's not true though. I'm not depressed. I'm just sick of life...

 

 

And then, one day I met Kai.

Foreword

Author's Note: This is for OVERDOSE writing competition, Special thingy. Only got till August 1st. Anyway, as you know. Don't copy and I'm sorry if my idea is similar to someone elses. Please forgive me.

Also, I'm terrible at coming up with titles so please forgive me for that too.

 

Another thing. All credits for the brilliant poster go to creamysmiles and her graphic shop, which I reckon you should check out. It's called  Syaeneonli Graphics
