'Whaaa!!!!!', I screamed as I fell down my bed with a violent thump.

It felt like my heart stopped, my breathing is erratic, and I am sweating profusely. I touch my face, my teeth and my nails and sigh in relief.

'So, it was a nightmare, huh'

It seems like I just woke up from my worst nightmare ever. My nails were pulled out, my ear was cut and my teeth were broken. I don't really remember what was the reason for all these terrible things to happen. Dreams are like that after all. What I remember though is the terror, the terror I faced in this nightmare.

'Shivank, you awake?? Brush your teeth quickly and come to eat breakfast. You shouldn't make a habit of missing it.'

'Yeah mom, I will be ready in a jiffy.'

I got ready and went to eat breakfast.

'What is the breakfast today?'

'Poha... now come and eat quickly'

'Poha? Again?? Mom, make something more delicious.'

'Huh, but you said last week to make Poha.'

'Hmmm, I did? Can't remember though. Well anyway, I have eaten my share, I am off to school.'

'Okay, your cycle has been repaired, it's in the garage.'

'Okay Mom, love you. I am off.'

'Don't go very fast okay. Take care.'

I ride the cycle out of my house to the school..... when it suddenly hits me, where is my school?
