Episode 5

Can we actually survive in this challenging and horrific situation?

***

For the past few months we have lived in this compound, it hasn't just been easy. My sleep at night are usually terrifying and horrific. I keep having series of bad dreams.

And my little brother who happens to be our last born is just five years old, but this boy keeps having series of bad dreams. He'll be sleeping at night, and he will be struggling, it would be as if he is engaging in a fight with someone, and the little boy will be crying. And this happens almost every night.

I had a dream one night, and in that dream, I saw myself putting on a long flay blue gown. I was in somewhere that seemed like a grave yard, and I was surrounded by coffins of different dead people that I don't even know. Then suddenly, an old woman appeared in front of me, with a veil covering her face. She was putting on a long black gown. The woman was cajoling me to come to her. I was so scared, I started running, but all the gates in the grave yard was shut. There was no access to go out. The woman's mouth was filled with blood. I shouted Jesus, then I woke up.
