Recurring Nightmare
Oh Oh Oh Oh!
I found myself inside the earth, in a large cave with old darkness, and wet and cold. And old old old. It’s old inside the earth, where even gods do not hide. There are animals and inside the lake that is inside the earth there is a very big animal. The water is more volume than you can imagine, if you were to fall in awake it’d stop your puny mortal heart. But I am dreaming and when I fall in, I do not die, but sink deep enough to encounter the very big animal. Oh oh oh! It is a mountain, it is a living breathing mountain and I am alone with it. Soon it will open it’s massive eye and it will perceive me! I must die before that, but the fear does not kill me, nor the cold, nor the water, oh oh oh. !! It is moving it is moving and rising to the surface, the huge mass of it rushing to meet me and suddenly I am touching it, the thing I have feared most and still I do not die, only continue in fear, feeling things, emotions. It has not seen me yet. I cling to its back, my face pressed to it’s oozing hide, the color of green and black, and I sink into it into another nightmare, I am in the water, inside the sea, at the very bottom of the darkness where no light will ever come, floating in ink – silence – fear! Oh oh oh. There are animals here too. I cannot see them, still the fear and still I do not die. What oh?! A torchlight, an ordinary little battery powered torchlight in my hands. Do not switch it on! Then you will see the animals! Oh! What have you done! You foolish foolish person, you have dropt it!
