DREAM OR NIGHTMARE, DREAM OR NIGHTMARE

It was raining, however, that was completely natural in this season and they both liked the sound
of the drops falling on the window and the smell of rain in the air, she was eating in her mother's
room before going to school looking at the window, the last few weeks she accompanied her
mother in this way, while she ate, her mother rested in bed as she was always exhausted and pale
after her chemotherapies. Immediately after finishing her meal she got up, took her plate to the
kitchen and said goodbye to her mother in silence. Fortunately, when she left the house, it
stopped raining and she arrived at school in her dry school uniform. When she left the school it
was already dark, her grandfather picked her up, she was surprised because he had never picked
her up before and when she got home she was given the news that would change her life at the
age of thirteen. She woke up scared, it was a nightmare, she felt something cold and soft under
her fingers, she looked up, wood? she was inside a room with people around her all in black with a
sad and empty expression, it was not a dream, inside that wooden box through the glass she saw
her reflection only more adult, it was not a dream she repeated, she let go of the box and walked
away sobbing with an empty and inexpressive look, because she would no longer see her mother's
shining eyes, she would no longer suffer with the terrible pain due to cancer, her mother was at
peace.
