Damp, heavy sheets twisted around my legs, like cold night sweats, but there was no nightmare. It was just the rain, that had beat against the walls and roof and windows all week long finally getting in. That night, that night of no nightmares, I met another patient. His eye looked at me, then through me. And through the walls and through the rain through the very fabric of reality itself. They alighted on another world.
Maybe it was a better world, with gentle rain that never broke through walls. And bright greens and oranges. A world where fairies serve ambrosia with diamond studded wings. And centaurs carry crystal cups filled from the fountain of youth.
I'm jealous of his Neverland. Jealous that he can escape while I wake up with drenched sheets once more clinging to my legs.
