Anton woke up from the nightmare, he got up and gasped violently.

He didn't remember what he dreamed of, only a suffocating fear wrapped around him.

This is not the first time he had this dream, although the memory is blank, but the feeling after waking up from the dream is the same.

Anton went to the bedside table to feel for the cigarette case and lighter.

The roommate on the opposite bed gritted their teeth, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the dormitory.

Anton felt a little tight in his chest, got up and walked to the window.

The summer night wind carries the temperature of the day, hot, but at least there is no smell of stinky socks.

Lit up the cigarette and took a puff, the orange flame from the cigarette butt illuminated Anton's eyes, and it was back to darkness in just a moment.

The tobacco eased the fear caused by the nightmare, and after taking three deep puffs, Anton crushed the cigarette butt on the windowsill.

After all, there is work to be done in the morning.

And tomorrow is another day.
