I haven't introduced myself to you yet. Sorry. I'm Hope Dreams. I'm 16 and I live on the streets. I have ragged blonde hair that is split at the ends, dull green eyes that have lost the joy that once shined brightly, torn clothes that are way too big for me, and, not to mention, I am super skinny from lack of nutrition.

I struggled against the arms restraining me, but I couldn't move. Shawn cracked his knuckles again, pulling his arm back and aiming at my face. In horror, I tried to escape, but the attempt was futile. I closed my eyes in fear when I felt the impact. A crack was heard as my head rammed into the ground, the hands no longer supporting me. My jaw started to hurt, when I felt something come in contact with my ribs. I lost all the air in my lungs as I was being kicked repeatedly. Dark spots started to cloud my vision as I was slipping in and out of consciousness.

    When I am dreaming, I sometimes am not sure if I am awake or dreaming, but when I am awake I know I am not dreaming. In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life. In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…
