History is repeating itself...... in all the wrong ways. Once blissful nights of respite are morphing into abysmally black pits of horror. We awake from one nightmare and are immediately thrust into the next. These days, we are all dreamers who have been disjointed from time, space, and even memory, but these dreams are not our own. These are the eldritch reveries of the one who sleeps eternal but can never die...... and his aeons of slumber have come to an end! 

"This Bitter Earth, Part I: Lost In Nightmares" is a multifaceted tale of apocalyptic Lovecraftian terror told in the stream-of-consciousness writing style from the perspective of multiple heroes, villains, and otherwise morally neutral common folk caught in the crossfire of a world gone mad. An ex-U.S. Army Ranger plunges headlong into the heart of an immense darkness as two clandestine government operatives work in the shadows to combat an unseen threat to humanity, all while the armies of World War III are marching onward to Judgment Day. Will good triumph over evil? Will our world be spared a global cataclysm? Will the universe care either way?

In Your Dreams by Mystery245
18 parts Ongoing
One thing is certain. You can never escape it. DEATH. A five-letter word. But what if you could escape it. Well, Templar May is about to find a world where you have unlimited time. A place where your wildest dreams and biggest fears come to life. -----------_--------------- I know I am dreaming but I can not keep my eyes from the vibrant trees and amazing green that surrounds me. Heavy blankets of moss cover the trees in beautiful green layers. Clovers dominate the forest floor in thick bunched patches. My eyes gaze at the unfathomably tall pine trees that seem to touch the heavens. I know I am dreaming but I can feel the cold creep up my spine and my breath comes out in thick foggy clouds that reach for the heavens. My mind slips into a foggy haze that mirrors the fog blanketing the forest when I see it. At first, it is just a glimpse of black. Then I realize that this black is a thick mass of hair attached to a person. Whoever it is, their back is to me. From the stature and muscle tone, they appear male. Tan skin shines as a bright contrast against the various shades of green that blanket everything. A force pulls me in like a siren's call. Pinpricks manifest under my skin as a growing sense of danger fills my body. The magnetic force continues to draw me in as if I do not have any choice in the matter. Something deep inside my body, deep inside my very soul screams at me to run away and never return but, the siren's call continues. Tension tightens my muscles as an alarming desire within me registers. I want this. I do not know why but I want to know whoever this is. But as I come within yards of the stranger, my dream changes. I am outside of my body watching the color drain from my still body and blank eyes as my blood soaks the once bright green foliage on the forest floor. Editing later on

Talamayas Sol loses his mother when he stumbles upon a mage in the deserts of his territory, and he is plunged into a despair he's never known.
