I stood on a little island, barely big enough to fit me, and I was surrounded by sky blue water, as if the sky itself had come down around me. I sat and reached in the water, feeling its warmth and stillness made me feel at ease. The stillness and peace was interrupted by a ripple that came from the other side of the body of water, I stayed sitting and looked as far as I could see; there he was, holding his long Scythe with the spine and skull of some unnamed creature. He came to me, followed wherever I went, we had conversations without either of us speaking. (This was inspired by the Undertaker actually showing up in the dreams I had, but I'm going to make it an actual story, not a dream journal. The character is me, nothing I felt in the real dreams will be changed in here. Everything else is purely fictional for the story's sake.)

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
