Dark room Quote by Monique Martin

“THE NIGHTMARES HAD COME again. With a surge of panic, Simon Cross pushed himself off the bed and away from the cold, sweat-soaked sheets. His heart racing, his breath quick and rough, he forced his eyes to adjust to the dark room as the last vestiges of sleep faded.” quote by Monique Martin
