You sat in bed, dreading to go to sleep. Every night since you were born, you had terrible nightmares that left you uneasy. Your mental health being chipped away over the years as they got worse and worse. They haunt you in your waking moments now as well.

Awful visions of fires, death, pain, destruction, flitting through your mind. You had gone without sleep for days now due to how awful they were.

Eventually, you settled in and closed your eyes.

A dark forest formed around you. Everything seemed colorless and dull, not a single color to help center yourself. All was quiet in the nightmare world. You walked around anxiously, deluding yourself into seeing shadows move at the edge of your vision. You felt like you were losing your mind, you probably were.

You spotted the forest’s end and walked out of the trees. You saw a giant rock and sitting on top, was a shadowy monster.

It tilted it’s head at you, it’s blank white eyes staring at you.
