I'm tired of being beat up. I'm tired of being in pain. Death seems so great right now. I wish I had someone to save me. Somone to confide in.
All these thoughts race through Elijah's head as he lays in the dark, the clock ticking on the wall.

A tear rolls down his stubbly cheek as he awaits the onset of sleep to hopefully remove him from his agony for a few hours. However, he knows this wont happen. Nightmare after blood curdling nightmare will taunt him throughout the night, reminding him of just how painful and lonely his life is in reality. Dreams of fighting cold wars and of fighting the monster await him. They try willing him to sleep, but he fights back. He's too afraid to close his eyes, but he feels them growing heavier as he starts to nod off into another reality. He begs himself to stay awake but it's no use. Finally, he gives up his will and lets sleep overpower him.
