#228 Sweet Dreams, Kimberly

Lai Kwan came back from Korea :D
I ish happy.
Nyways,
Things here are so boring.
I actually thought that I should,
You know,
Go study?
Weird, huh?

Had a nightmare last night,
It's about jellyfishes. o.o

Open your eyes.
Now close them.
Think of something blue;
That looks both terrifying and magnificent at the same time.
Imagine you can feel it...
Imagine you can sense it...


I closed both my eyes,
And I saw the ocean.
I was standing at the edge of a cliff.
I could feel the sea breeze
And smell the salt from the ocean.
From behind,
I could hear the laughter of children
That are playing happily on the sand.
I sensed someone was standing behind me.
Before I could turn around,
I felt the person's hand wrapped around my waist
And pulled me closer to him.
It's him!
My heart leaped with joy.
It's him!
It's really him!
"Breath taking, isn't it?" He muttered.
I nodded.
We stood there like a statue for a second,
Watching the sun slowly set behind the horizon.
Oh, it felt so romantic.
I let out a sigh and I felt him tense up.
"What's wrong?" I asked without turning my head.
"It's.. It's nothing."
I rubbed his arms.
"Doesn't feel like it,"
He gave me a squeeze.
"It's nothing,"
The stars shyly peek through their clouds,
Checking if the coast is clear.
Slowly,
One by one,
They came out from their hiding place and shine.

Well now,
It seems like she's having a sweet memory.
Wake her up,
I'm tired of this.
Sir!
Wait.
Something's changing.
Her breathing seems irregular,
Heart pulse has begun to speed up...


"I love you,"
He said to me as he jumped off the cliff,
Pulling me along with him.
I couldn't scream,
I couldn't think clearly,
I couldn't do anything
Except fall.
Fall.
Fall to my death.
Fall and crush onto the rocks.
I closed my eyes and waited for the impact.
The water caught me,
As though it was slowly cradling me down,
To the bottom of the sea.
I couldn't breathe,
I don't know how to swim.
I feel like a rock,
Sinking...
Sinking...
I thought about the jagged rocks;
I thought of how my lover's body looked like;
The way his arm was torn apart from his body
Due to the rocks.
I closed my eyes,
Trying to push the image of how horrible he looked like.
A new thought came rushing in my mind,
Why did he made us jumped off the cliff?
Why didn't he tell me what's going on?
Why did he just say
"I love you,"
Instead of telling me what's going on
Before he pushed me?
I felt something brush against my arm.
For a second there,
I forgotten about air.
I was surrounded with beautiful jelly fishes.
Like a balloon,
They took their time to swim up to the surface.
I smiled,
As I watched a blue jelly fish coming towards me.
So beautiful;
So lovely;
So...
OUCH!
Painful.
It stung me!
I panicked.
I remembered I'm still under water.
Oxygen.
I.
Need.
Oxygen.
I squirmed.
Trying to swim to the surface.
Not only I'm not making any progress,
Yet my movement seemed to disturbed the jellyfishes.
One by one,
They came to my direction.
I closed my eyes.
Which one will come first?
The fact that I'm going to drown?
Or the fact that I'm going to be stung to death?
I opened my mouth and let the last air bubble out.
Slowly,
The air bubble begun to make it's way towards the surface.
The jellyfishes stayed still.
As though waiting for a signal.
The bubble popped.
They charged towards me.
At first,
It felt like a needle pricking all over my body.
Slowly,
It felt like bee stings.
I screamed.
I screamed as loud as I could.
I screamed
When it felt like I'm being electrocuted.
It hurts.
It hurts.

Sir!
Her whole body is jolting.
Should we turn off the machine?
Silence.
Sir!
Off it.
Sir?
Off the damn machine!
He walked out of the room,
Leaving the two of them alone.
Kim!
Kim wake up!
He took out the wires from her body.
He pushed her hair back,
Wiping her face with a piece of cold tower.
Slowly,
Her eye lids begun to flutter.
She coughed.
She reached out and touched his face.
Where are we?
In a laboratory.
What are we doing here?
You agreed to take on an experiment.
I dream about you.
I saw.
How?
On a monitor.
Her pulse began to rise.
Her heart pumped faster and faster.
She gasped.
Wha-what's going on?
She couldn't understand.
It felt like she was still in her dream.
The stinging starts.
The bee stings gradually follow.
He-help me!
She cried.
Her tears streamed down her face.
She gasped again.
Oxygen.
She needs oxygen.
Help!
Help me!
He started to cry.
She reached out and she whispered.
I love you.
The beeping stopped.
He couldn't accept it.
The experiment was suppose to be harmless!
It wasn't suppose to end like this!
It was suppose to prove other people
That they can peer into someone's mind.
Can actually see what are they dreaming.
It's the medicine.
Sir?
The medicine that was injected into her blood stream.
It was the cause for letting us see what is she dreaming
And the cause of her death.
He grabbed the Sir's collar.
Why didn't you tell me!?
Why didn't you let me know!?
He voice cracked.
He let go of the Sir's shirt and sobbed.
My boy,
The medicine was part of the experiment.
You, as a doctor, should have known.
Thus saying,
He left the room.
Leaving both of them once again.
One sobbing
And one lying on the cold bed.
Not moving.
Anymore.
He walked towards her
And saw his once lover staring blankly at the ceiling.
He reached out and slowly push her eyelids down.
Allowing her to have a peaceful death.
He slowly shuffled out of the room,
Up to a balcony.
And he jumped.

It felt like I'm being electrocuted.
