Scrape: A Short Story
Tim's POV

I trugged inside my hotel room, I found the hotel close that Jay told me. I placed a bag I had in my car. The pills shaked inside the bag when I placed it down. I should really go to the doctor's soon for another bottle.

Not now, I am too tired.

I crawled onto my bed, not caring to get under the blanket and turned off the lamp.

I dreamed of my childhood. My parents got divorced, I lived with my mom, she smoked, drank, and abused me.

I couldn't take it at the time, so I took as many pills as I could before my mom found out. I tried to kill myself, I meant nothing, I am worth nothing. Moms sent me to a mental hospital for it, I lied to the people who asked me about it. I was in late middle school, maybe close to high school freshmen

I scratched all over the walls, screamed, left the room to get away from him. My mom nor dad wanted to take care of me, so I had to live with my aunt when I got out.

Scrape, scrape, scratch.

Scrape, scrape, scratch, scratch.

SCRAPE, SCRATCH, SCRATCH, SCRAPE.

SCRAPESCRAPESCRATCHSCRATCH.

I woke up to feel wet on my cheeks, scatches on the wall in front of me I was on my knees in front of. I wiped the wet off my cheeks, which I found out was tears. This sometimes happens, I am known to sleep walk at times, mainly I do stuff like this with dreams of my past. I never come to dream of the time I met Brian, my first friend, I always end at some point after the mental hospital. I don't remember anything about my aunt or living with her, how I got out of her house, I don't even remember what she looks like!

I got up and got my phone out of my pocket. It was a text from Mr. Bitchyasspants, aka Alex Kralie.

I'm coming, I know where you are. Be ready, Wright.

I wasn't scared, I am not sure why. I think because I don't feel the precense…of the thing and that thing comes around when Alex is close. He, it, other, comes around when Alex is not around at times though.

    When I was younger I had a very vibrant dream in the back of my mind. My family has never been the rich family, and I have never gotten everything I wanted. I had this dream, that I would be the one to save my family from poverty. I’d get famous, have tons of money, and bring my family to live in my mansion. Most of my time was spent thinking about that single dream that I had for years.…

    My eyes snap open and the image of a room slowly focuses into my vision. I look around wondering where I am and become aware of a loud shrill noise. Then I remember, this is my place now, this is where I live and that clock needs to stop beeping. Slowly I get out of bed and look into the mirror asking myself the same question as I always do, "Why am I getting up, its not like there is anything for me to do." My room is nothing like I remember it from last night. Last night I had strewn the clothes I was wearing all about the room and sequentially thrashed it by everywhere looking form my pajamas that I somehow never seem to find. Now, my room is all clean. At least the clothes had provided some color to…

    According to Sigmund Freud, dreams function to virtually fulfill unexpressed desires, which can also be viewed as hopes and fears.

    According to Freud, dreams are spy holes into our unconscious. Fears, desires and emotions that we are usually unaware of make themselves known through dreams. To Freud dreams were fundamentally about wish fulfillment. Even "negative" dreams (punishment dreams and other anxiety dreams) are a form of wish fulfillment; the wish being that certain events do not occur. Very often such dreams are…

    I crawled back outside and collected grass to use as a pillow. Being so small in size it did not take much to meet my satisfaction. At the same time, the skies were getting darker and influenced me to rush and give up on the collection sooner.
