In response to Alex

I picked up the phone as fast as I could, still sweating from the nightmare....my hands were shaking so badly I could hardly push the right buttons. Finally, upon clicking the call button I put the device up to my ear and waited.

-beep-

-beep-

-beep-


"Hello, this is Dr. Brown,"

My first attempt to speak came out as a raspy cough. Trying again I said,

"Dr. Brown what did you do to me? The nightmares...the images...so real..."

As I thought back to the horrible sights of my own mutilated corpse I couldn't form words.

"What's the matter son? The medicine I gave you does have a few side effects. It's something you'll have to deal with if you want sleep. I'm sorry, now either take the pills or don't, but I've got work to do. Goodbye." -click-

And with that, the Dr. ended the phone call. My heart was beginning to slow, and I calmed myself before making breakfast. As I went to reach for a spoon, suddenly flashes of a dark, blood red color invaded my vision. Strange red symbols that reminded me of the dream. They frightened me. As I began to scream I slipped, and slammed my head against the corner of the counter top. With the blood red symbols still present behind my closed eyes and me screaming, I began to lose consciousness.
