Punishment In Due Course

The crimes have finished, the deaths have ceased, the monster locked up and put away. The town can finally rest, because the terrors are already forgotten, like a bad memory. The nightmares, however, haven't. They haunt you. Nightmares don't go away. They stick around. They like your fears, your worst memories. They like the chase, the psychological chase, through your mind. They take after you, you made them. Now you're paying for it. The wrong monster was locked up. The monster that only you could see, nobody else. They saw the monster after you stopped believing. The monster that was locked up, was nothing compared to the monster that you are. And you will get your Punishment, In Due Course.
