troubling dreams
As he drifted to sleep, Viktor’s nights were plagued with dreams about his ex-partner, each more troubling than the last.
She appeared vividly, sometimes smiling, other times in distress. Her face would blur, and he’d wake up, heart pounding, lost in the fragments of his subconscious.
“Why did you leave?” he’d mutter in his sleep, only to be jolted awake by the silence. The dreams were relentless, gnawing at his peace of mind.
