It was the middle of the night. Michael's apartment was quiet. The city lights gently illuminated the bedroom, where Michael and his girlfriend were deep in sleep. Her head rested on his boyfriend's chest. Kaiser and his girlfriend had been dating for over a year. She was very supportive of him in everything and cared for him, which is why he told her about his painful past.

His nightmares had left him a few months ago, which was why he thought he was finally free from them. He was wrong.

Suddenly, Michael woke up from his sleep. He was breathing terribly fast, but at the same time he was unable to take a breath. He grabbed his neck and with horror in his eyes he kept repeating the scene in his head, how his father was strangling him.

He was terribly scared. Tears started to well up in his eyes, while he still couldn't breathe from the terror.
