Dream or Scream - Original Writing

The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close a drowsy

silence lay over the small houses in Forest Gate. Cars that were

usually gleaming stood dusty in their and lawns, deprived of their

usual car washes. The inhabitants of forest gate lay in their houses

in the shade, windows thrown wide open in the hope of getting a

non-existent breeze.

I awoke suddenly full of adrenaline, I rose in my bed so fast that I

did not see the wall above me, my head hit the wall so hard that it

was like I was hit with a hammer over the head. A few seconds later I

got up with my face all screwed up in my hands, where I had hit my

head on the wall hard. I slowly opened my eyes then walked over to the

mirror, where I looked inside thinking of why I had woken so early,

eager for that day to come; I had waited a whole century for this

moment to come. I turned left and looked desperately out of my window.

It was like the day was painted all over again, the grass in my

backyard sun-bleached with brightness. Whilst I stood there gazing out

of the window engaged in deep thought of why my enthusiasm grew within

me. As I looked down to the laminated floorboards that were growing

lighter as the sky outside grew paler it had just then hit me that I

was going to India for the first time in my life.

It was that second that I had reacted and straight away I began to

floss my teeth, brush them, and then I jumped into the shower. Around

ten minutes later I ran down eagerly to see if anyone was awake, all

of a sudden I came to a halt as though being pushed back aggressively,

at the sight of what I was seeing, in the room opposite the bottom of

the stairs (leading from the third floor to the second), my insides

burned with flaming fire.
