In the forest it is night… and the land is dark and uninviting. The land is in a constant night, with the moon always full and the clouds always swirling around it… what seems like a few seconds here could be an eternity on the other side, but no one can tell because as soon as you step in all communication to the outside is lost… so I am truly alone in my fight now.

As I walk deeper into the forest I recognise parts from my dream, a clearing that I ran past, a tree whose gnarled roots tripped me, and a long scratch that I ran my fingers over, making them sticky from the wet sap that had started to drip from the trees… as though the scratch was fresh… my conscious warned me, as though it was made but a few hours ago.

Then I look up and pull out of my day-mare… to find the hospital is in front of me. How convenient, I think to myself bitterly, to end up walking right to the beginning of all the dreams…

As I walk through the doors of the hospital I feel as though all my dreams are about to repeat…

But you know what is going to happen… you know how to prevent it from ending you… I told myself.

And of course I am right… and for once I regret it.
