2 New Life with same Nightmare

Orange hue across the sky, marked the new year with a new day...sunlight streamed through the curtains onto the bed made with just a comforter on the floor..where Aaria laid pondering over her new life in this new country.

Aaria started with cleaning out the cottage... discarding all the old broken unnecessary things...she was a Minimalist...wanted to keep some old things like the old humongous bookshelf with a huge collection of books...then the coffee table which looked like an antic and the dining table in the kitchen...rest all stuff was marked as garage sale.

The sun had set and the house was almost cleared n everything was sorted.

Aaria was dead tired, she had not eaten anything since morning...but she wasnt really hungry just tired...she dragged herself to the bedroom upstairs...spread out the neatly folded comforter and crashed.

Aaria dreamed of her tending to a beautiful garden ...with herbs and a vegetable patch...and a little outdoor stonebuilt oven...but across the stoneboundary wall a was a dark black hole... everytime she tried to get back to her cottage across any boundary wall the black hole would appear out of thin air. Everytime she would turn away from the black hole to the garden it would disappear. And then she could clearly see her little cottage...

The nightmare was yet to come...either the black hole would either suck in or spit out things... only thing that had changed was her home...

She usually dreamt of herself getting sucked in to her home and a strange headless body of a man would come in from behind and beat her black and blue... finally trying to murder her with an axe or a sword. With that she would get startled and wake up... Every night same dream...new place yet the nightmare continued.
