*Ring, ring, ring~~*
My alarm always jolted me awake at precisely five in the morning, its loud, piercing noise signaling the start of a new day. Usually, I'd rise feeling rested and energized, ready to face whatever lay ahead. But today was different.
I woke up drenched in sweat, my pillow soaked as I struggled to catch my breath. For weeks now, the same nightmare had haunted me relentlessly—visions of fighting just to survive against an unforgiving fate. I saw myself running desperately from a collapsing building, the deafening screams echoing in my ears. I watched helplessly as one of my closest comrades was torn to pieces right before me—their eyes popping from their sockets, brain matter splattering onto me.
