I wake from a dream, the same dream I always have; I find myself inside an empty  space dominated by pitch black. A scuttle behind me -no in front- I can't tell in this darkness; my senses are fouled and my whit seemingly nil. Something grabs, stabs, scrapes; I feel my skin tear on the arm then the leg then the back, my sense of touch has not gone as the wounds hemorrhage. I scream and I run not knowing what lies ahead, the noise follows to mock; from scuttle to screech to caw to- gone. There's a light ahead, I can see it pulse as I press on; my bare bloodied feet making a steady slap and squish on the floor not there. A whoosh above and heat driven wind forces me down; welcoming the warm kiss from below I don't resist it. I fall continuously spiraling out of control into oblivion until I feel the ground approaching and I embrace the gory end. I feel nothing on impact as I watch my casing burst to a ****** rain. I wake from a dream, the same dream I always have.

Nightmare
I wake from a dream, the same dream I always have; I find myself inside an empty  space dominated by pitch black. A scuttle behind me -no in front- I can't tell in this darkness; my senses are fouled and my whit seemingly nil. Something grabs, stabs, scrapes; I feel my skin tear on the arm then the leg then the back, my sense of touch has not gone as the wounds hemorrhage. I scream and I run not knowing what lies ahead, the noise follows to mock; from scuttle to screech to caw to- gone. There's a light ahead, I can see it pulse as I press on; my bare bloodied feet making a steady slap and squish on the floor not there. A whoosh above and heat driven wind forces me down; welcoming the warm kiss from below I don't resist it. I fall continuously spiraling out of control into oblivion until I feel the ground approaching and I embrace the gory end. I feel nothing on impact as I watch my casing burst to a ****** rain. I wake from a dream, the same dream I always have.
