Waking up every single night soaked in sweat

reoccurring nightmares plagued his mind for years now to die within a dream, unlikely

Alas this poor soul was doomed

Considering a suicide

and after that all would be fine but hope of sleep would not let go

I’ll give it one more night he thought went to bed and closed his eyes

soon found himself in helpless dire the nightmare finally took his life

peace at last denied

Awake again but in no bed, now physically stuck within this space screams of pain and horror echoed from his throat in complete vain the realization sunk in, dead and forever here trapped

there must be some way out, a secret door, a map to escape this hell

The dread he feared was now perpetual lost in his mind, a mental asylum

his chronic nightmare, his only view

the depths of horror grew for each breath he took

Must get out

clawing at the walls, stomping on the floor shakes of panic

tears and snot and blood dripping from his body hyperventilation, how long could he keep this up “-Get me out, get me out!”

was all that he could muster

starting to fatigue, soon all that drove him was attrition

The exhaustion won the battle been awake in a dream forever

the need for sleep was imminent

as he fell and crawled into a corner

but what he did not know was that his dream to come was this world amplified, never to get out
