Tales of an Odd Penguin

I woke up last night screaming. It felt like someone had my chest in a vice. It hurt to move; hurt to breathe. Screaming just made me want to scream more.

It felt like it took a half hour for me to move enough to get off the bed. I stood up, and suddenly, it didn't hurt anymore. I ached a little bit, but I took a shower, stood under the hot water for about ten minutes and when I crawled back into bed, it was nothing more than a nightmare.


I still don't know if it was real or not, but it was scary.
