Mental: Beginnings

She woke up screaming and drenched with sweat.
“It’s a lie! It’s all a lie!!” She wailed with hot tears springing from her dull-blue eyes. She was moaning and hyperventilating and did not hear her door open. Int shuffled in quietly, his worn out slippers dragging across the tile. Wiki’s head snapped up as Int sat on her bed.

“Int!” She gasped, “You… scared me.” Int patted her hand reassuringly and looked at his broken wristwatch, “Dreams. Powerful stuff.” “That article! It’s all lies!” Wiki moaned again, her head buried in her lap. “I know, kiddo. But if it is a lie, Than what is the truth?” Int asked softly. Wiki stopped crying and looked up at Int, startled. “I… I don’t know."

Int seemed to expected that answer. He patted her hand again, got up, took the piece of newspaper and turned to leave.

“Wait! Could… Could you leave the article? I don’t remember the last time I had anything to read.” Wiki asked, quietly suppressing gasps and hiccups.
