    noticed the early morning sun, streaming through the window, the curtains preventing a painful glare. “Almost five,” came the answer. “Will I always have such dreams?” I began to imagine that I would never be able so sleep properly again. “I can't say you won't but generally they go away as the memories fade and become less vivid.” He paused for a minute. “I will say though that in my considerable experience, those people who bottle the fears inside themselves tend to take much longer to heal from the mental scars that such incidents invariably leave. I know you don't want to talk about it with me but if you can find someone, anyone who will listen, then it will help, I promise you.” “I saw...” I began but then stopped and shook my head. “I saw... I'm sorry, I can't” It was no good, I couldn't tell him what I saw and what happened. “Hey, it's okay. It only happened a few days ago. There is plenty of time.” He took my hand reassuringly. “Maybe you could try to sleep again.

Thank you,” I smiled warmly. “I have some news too. Your friend, Mrs. Rana. She is coming to this ward shortly.
