Chapter 01

'She was walking on a busy street way back to her home. It was late evening yet it wasn't completely dark. To reach home as soon as possible she took a short cut that was abandoned for a while now due to some construction work going on. The ally was darker than the usual, she couldn't understand why in the would she chose such a creepy short cut? Yeah because if she was late the landlord may just ask her to find a new place to live? Sighing, walked ahead until she heard a creepy voice just behind her, she abruptly turned to see nothing. She was anything but calm, however, she thought it was just her imagination. She turned to walk forward when she saw a contour just an inch away from her. She moved a few steps back out of reflex but then slipped and felt like falling from the mountain top. It was endless, she was screaming until she found herself incapable of breathing.'

She woke up gasping for air and frantically observed her surroundings. *Sigh* It was the same nightmare, again. Her breathing became normal but the fear that crept inside her was increasing with the passing time. 

This nightmare was like a ticking bomb, it could blast any moment of her life because she was unaware of the timer.

While walking out of the cafe, where Elena works in as a waitress, she was wondering about the nightmares she sees every other day now. The nightmare she saw yesterday was scarier then before. She didn't knew what to do, she can't even tell anyone about it because they will think of her as a psychotic and would probably send her to the asylum. 

Off course, why wouldn't they? What would you do when someone tells you something about them seeing these horrible nightmares and that whatever she saw would eventually becomes her reality. 

'Her dreams are not just dreams.'

For her, they were like wonderful if they gave her positive vibes and horrible if they gave negative vibes. 

She was pissed off. Why not? However the horrible start may be due to these nightmares she thought the remaining day will go on smoothly but why would luck ever be at her side? It was going all good until Julie, a women in mid forties and the owner of the cafe, decided to lash out on her. 

It wasn't even her fault! Will you just keep bearing everything if someone would ask you to become their entertainment package for the night even if that someone is VIP customer of your cafe? No right? She just punched him square on his face at his audacity due to which the owner kicked her out of the job saying she shouldn't have taken any action herself rather she should have just told the head staff or her. 

When Elena refused to apologise she just handed her a letter stating she is no longer needed in the cafe. Great! Now she have to find another job.

What she was unaware of that the new job would be the reality of her nightmares.

'Maybe the nightmare himself was waiting for this chance to change her reality.'
