I jumped into the abyss.
The bottomless pit of darkness.
The black hole of nightmares.
The home of monsters.
But even the beasts
down there are better
than the angels up top.
Up there is where
the true nightmare dwells.
It squeezes in between
the cracks of your armor
and wraps itself around your heart.
Then it attacks when least expected.
Squeezing,
Crushing,
Breaking.
That is why I decided to come down here,
where I am safer.
Here the monsters won't bother me
and they don't hide behind masks or facades.
No.
The monsters down below
show their true nature from the start,
unlike the creatures from above,
the true nightmare.
