If I sleep – will I wake from this nightmare? If not, I pray my heavenly Father will take me in my sleep.

Something died inside of him that day. Watching that man slip away was more than his mind was willing to handle.

One last thing, a shadow is following you. It's a living nightmare – breaking down reality. I have tried everything and there is no way to fight back. You need to escape it as long as you can.

I know this. I've been here already. I know this taste – the taste of Damascus Rose obfuscating the truth in a dim haze. They may sweep the traces from my memory, but my body remembers. These cuts speak volumes, even though my mind remains silent.

They will be back. Oh, they will be back.

There is no shame in using a parasol in the desert. As it happens, it's imperative to your survival!
