I don't think readers enjoy reading about dead kids. I certainly found it hard to continue reading from that point. I think you should stay away from that for now tbh.
Darkness. All I see when I awake from my dream. Not any of the old dirt on the ceiling, not the grey silk curtains, not the creaky old table sitting by the window. Just darkness. Pure darkness. I roll over to check the time. 3:12AM. Ugh, not another one of these midnight awakenings. These have been occurring quite frequently lately, where I wake from my dream to find the time to be exactly 3:12 in the morning. I can never figure out why it happens to me, let alone why the time is always 3:12. I lie back down to try to return to my dream, but like always, I can't. I just lie there until sunrise, thinking about everything. About the lies, the darkness, the others.
Oh what a beautiful day, I thought to myself that morning. The grass covered with dew, the sky painting a golden horizon over the hills, I convinced myself that this would be a great day. My bare feet were soaking and my whole body was freezing, but still I ran through the meadows. Every morning I would run through these meadows, laughing and smiling as I watched the cows wandering. At the end of these meadows I would run into the next, and the next, and the next, and finally run up the hills. From that end point, puffing and gasping for air, I would just stare into the sunrise and down into the distance. But that morning, I could see something in the distance. It looked like a man, perhaps in his mid 30s limping towards me in the distance. Still panting for air, I raced down the hill and dashed towards him. About half way before reaching him, he collapsed to the grass. When I finally reached him, I shook him, talked to him, asked him questions, and got no reply. He had blood all over him, and when I checked for a pulse, I felt nothing. Then the horror got to me; he was dead! Had he been attacked? Was he just sick?, I asked myself. Panicking, I looked around and into the distance, checking for others, when I sighted another man. He looked a similar age; perhaps slightly younger, and was holding a kitchen knife high into the sky with blood on it. Immediately fearing the worst, I took the dead man?s bloody jacket and ran off back to home, occasionally checking behind me, checking that he wasn?t coming any closer. But he didn?t move a single step. He just stayed there, watching me, the little scared boy running home through the meadows. When I arrived home, I noticed something strange. In our meadow, there were leaves on the ground, fresh leaves. Leaves in the Meadows?, I asked myself curiously. How on Earth could there be leaves in the meadows? We don?t have any trees...
