Dad?

I awoke, my eyes were still closed. In the background, the radio was still on. It must not have been more than a few dozens minutes after I lay down. In my mind, images floated and haunted.
"Dad?"

I saw dad. What he looked like or what he was doing, I cannot remember anymore. All I can remember was that yesterday night, I felt this intense pain and sorrow suddenly. The pain and sorrow woke me, and I could not contain my tears. They spilled out of my eyes so suddenly. And it has been a long time since I last cried.

I closed my eyes, and I remember calling out "Dad... Dad.... Dad...." desperately.

Then I was lost in that mysterious world of sleep once more.
