A Beautiful Secret

Galaxia's POV"Help me, somebody please help me, please".I jolt awake from my constant nightmare, I'm not surprised, I mean these nightmares have been going on for 10yrs now but every time it always finds a way to strike fear in my heart. I went for several therapy sessions and for a while I stopped having nightmares but then they just came back and I've been coping ever since, each one more frightening than the last.

Galaxia's POV Beep Beep BeepMy alarm goes off again at 5:00a.m. and I turn it off. I've been awake since 1:47a.m. and I've not been able to go back to sleep. I think I should stop setting my alarm since I wake up even before it goes off.I get off my bed and make my way into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I change into my workout outfit and perform my morning routine before showering. Then I head into my closet to pick something to wear.My Thursday, which was yesterday, was a normal day, no drama whatsoever. Once a week, I'd always go around my company to check a few things and probably fire employees that are slacking off.When I first started this monitoring, a lot of employees were fired. I had caught some of them just standing there, talking and gossiping. They were beyond shocked when they turned to go back to work and found me right behind them with my signature
