The Void

              As each reality sensor shuts down, my mind enters the realm beyond my body. The vast void of blank canvass, where impossibility is no longer an option. Horrific images of loved ones lost, mangled, disparaged, and dismembered. Disfigured monsters, human skin stretched beyond its limit. Barrelling through the sleepy town, leaving only smoke and ash; blood and bodies; fear and discord.

              Cold sweat covers my body, earth shattering hooves rattle by the window. Inhuman war screams hang in the midnight air like a thick fog. Heart beating like thunder itself, I rise to my feet and peer out the window. As I feared, only the black, blank, desolate void staring back at me.This is my true nightmare, for I fear the void much more than the monsters inside.
