A Dark Nightmare...

-----

A nightmare that kept repeating every week, a terrifying nightmare he couldn't forget.

He found himself within an endless sea of darkness, lost. He watched everywhere, trying to find an exit.

Wherever he glanced to, enormous and monstrous figures greeted him, furious demons, giant monsters, savage beasts…

"Oh Great Lord."

"I greet the Great Lord."

"The King."

"The King of All."

"Awaken!"

"Leave behind your husk!"

"Pupate!"

"Rise!"

"Fight!

"Tear Apart!"

"Destroy!"

The monsters, demons, and beasts all spoke with crude words. Asking the little boy to tear apart, to destroy, to kill, to rise, to evolve, to pupate… The more he ran away, the closer they became, their claws reaching for his little body.

Faster, faster. He had to run faster. He knew he couldn't fight them, he knew he couldn't win. The only thing he knew is that he had to run from them, these monsters.
