Story: Gorgeous Nightmare

Aisling

unknown: Breakfast is so much sweeter when you’re the one serving it to me.

My lips spread into a thin line as I read the text over and over again, making my way up to my condo. I’m sorry but what creepy ass motherfucker decided he was going to cross all the fucking boundaries!

I can feel my ears getting hot as I continue to look down at the message going over every weirdo that stopped by today. Unfortunately for me, we had a handful of them. Great.

I block the number and delete the message before I make my way into my apartment. I slide the deadbolt into place and turn on my little mushroom lamp again. I’m home, I’m safe.

I go through my nightly tasks, making sure to set out the items I would need for work the following day, always trying to make tomorrow-me’s life easier.

After making myself some dino nuggies, I head to my bedroom and turn on some ghost hunting on YouTube. After I finish, I feel sleep start to take over my body. The darkness is a welcome comfort as I head into the dream world.
