Zachary was jolted awake from the nightmare. His eyes were wide open as he had not recovered from the shock.
His mind turned blank when the dream ended, but the fear continued to haunt him even after he had woken up.
It took him a while to pull himself together. He placed his palm on his forehead, trying to regain his composure.
He looked out of the window and realized it was already the next morning.
The sky was drizzling, and he could hear car noises from a distance.
Zachary looked at the clock and noticed it was only seven in the morning. He wanted to go back to sleep, but something seemed to have triggered him, causing him to open his eyes.
He could see now.
In fact, his vision was so clear that he could see everything around him.
Unlike how weak and stiff his body was last night, he felt energetic today.
False alarm, I see…
I don’t think I’ll die so soon. At least not now. Thank God!
Zachary took a deep breath and got up from his bed. He must not waste any time as he had to accomplish as many plans as possible while he still could.
“Daddy, Daddy!” Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie barged into his room.
“Hey. Welcome home.” Zachary bent down and extended his arms to embrace them.
While Jamie and Ellie ran up to Zachary and hugged him, Robbie observed him from a distance with knitted brows.
“It’s time to go to school now.” Zachary rubbed Jamie and Ellie’s head. “You’re half a semester behind, so you must work harder to catch up!”
