Once upon a nightmare,

She strode through darkness

No light.

No sound.

Only... darkness.

Only... silence.

It was maddening;

Infuriating.

Where was she?

Why was she here?

Where was the escape?

...Why was it so dark?

Once upon a nightmare,

she came across shadows.

Shadows, flickering

Somehow alive, yet somehow dead

How could there be shadows

In a place so dark?

But it only showed;

Darkness has no limits.

No boundaries.

No escape.

She was trapped;

Consumed by her cimmerian wonderland.

Once upon a nightmare,

She woke from her empty chimera.

But the shadows never left her;

they were now permanently a piece of her.

Once upon a nightmare,

She became the nightmare's purest form.

A walking void.

A breathing madness.
