The color around my left eye seems to darken.

Its sore and I know it’s bruised somehow.

Last night…

I dreamt about children being tortured.
Torn to shreds by some kind of bizarre monsters.

I saw them burned alive.

I could feel each heartbeat.

The panic.
The fear.

The pain.

I was swimming through lava.

Freezing cold.

Hell was insufferable.

I remember in the dark something was calling me.

It spoke in words burned onto paper.

I held my chest and tried to be strong, but I was alone.

For the first time in my dream I admitted…
“I’m afraid.”

And it laughed.

The laugh tore through me and froze my limbs.

I was sobbing.
Crying heavily…

Why, why, why did he just stand there and yell.

His bitter face.
So cold.

Why am I misunderstood?
Why can’t you believe my foresight?

Why is it just a dream to you?

This isn’t a dream is it?

In my weak mindedness I’ve opened a gate.

It is following.
Following.

When I awoke my eyes were damp.

Encrusted with salt.

I had really been crying.

My eyes continued to tear.
Nerves shot.

I’m fading out.

Something lures me back.
“I’m afraid.”

I can’t fight…

I can’t.
