The Missing Melody I woke up in the middle of the night with a sweat all over my face. “Oh‚ it is such a horrible nightmare I had.” I said to myself. I lighted the candle in my room; the small frame gave me a warmer atmosphere; so I felt a lot better. I tried to continue my sleeping but I had a strong sense that there is something wrong.
