distant invisible circling trailing drifting in and out of knowing and being something else what is that noise what was that fear climbing uncontrollably all over your skin terrified now then someone saying it's alright like a warm blanket the words cover you and form to your shape keeping the cold and scared out
wake in the night and it's freezing or so hot you're sweating it's dark but there's some light from the window or under the door or a candle confusion and the temperature conundrum and your spinning head make you scared again this time there is no one there why aren't they there what happened between the warmth and this nightmare or wait is this just a nightmare suddenly you can't even breathe and then
eyes open slightly dart left and right and around the shadowy room breath held reach out a hand they'll be there next to you and you'll know it was just a nightmare and you're fine now but nothing there it's happening again again close your eyes and try to wake up again

banshee
a crack there's a crack in the ice it's growing sliding towards me steam slips between the sharp lips of the crevice and curls through the air wrapping its icy silky fingers around my throat so soft the sinuous twisting ghost of liquid swallows my neck in its embrace
it's choking me make it stop I can't breathe it's getting tighter still this incorporeal murderer this is how it's all going to end I can't scream or even whisper now as the dark swarms into the sides of my eyes and my legs go numb beneath me the ice flies up to smack me in the face no, I've fallen I realize through the dense fog that is becoming my mind move move move please get up get out of here the scent of sickening sweetness overwhelms my dulling senses as everything else slowly dims and disappears
I am aware of sounds but can't wrap my brain around the meaning of them they come clicking and creaking in through the thudding in my head I can feel every red blood cell pounding it's way through the veins in my skull it's a riotous mess that I can't seem to stop or even slow eyes eyelids lift them so heavy and dry crusted from tears leaking out in unconsciousness the smallest opening and I am pierced by light I quickly shut my aching eyes and whimper in my thoughts just let it go for now I drift swiftly away again
