Again. Scared of going to bed, of images in my head.

Me and B. sleeping next to each other. Strong wind breaks the window. B. is injured by pieces of broken glass. Me helplessly looking at him.

A tree falls down on me, injured, can’t move. B. looking at me screaming and crying. Helpless. Forgets the way home.

B. getting terribly sick because he did not wear warm enough winter jacket. I can’t help him. I am left alone.
