My head hurts to the point I want to vomit. What happened? Why...? I can't think clearly enough to comprehend that vivid dream of mine. Was it a dream? It felt so real, but who was Mason and Teri? Why was there a dragon? I... I don't know, but the only thing I know for real is that I'm here in this Burger King. I want to cry, but it won't come out - The tears, the tears they won't... I don't know how long I've been here, but I want to die. Someone tell me, somebody! I'm waiting, I'm here. I can't hear. I can't hear! I can't hear!!!
But I can hear.
The silence makes the room seem empty.
"No, no... please, don't do this..." I whisper. I plead as I plead to the Goddess, but she's gone and all I've got are those thoughts, those thoughts I don't want to think about.
They're so dark, so twisted, so horrific, I don't understand... Why does Burger King have this effect on me? This effect that turns my blood cold and makes my heart race. I don't want this, I don't want to think. Please... Just please!
No...
"No, no, no..." My lips start to quiver as the world is getting darker and darker. "I don't want to die, but I'm tired. Tired, TIRED! I don't want to hurt! Don't hurt me! I don't want to hurt. I don't want to hurt, please!" I scream.
No. I don't want to die! I don't want to be left all alone! "I don't want to die... Please. No..." My eyes flutter as I keep pleading. I'm falling, falling, falling into the darkness, unable to stop it, unable to save myself. A voice echoes in my head, a familiar voice, but it sounds far away and the words are fuzzy, they're just too fuzzy... "It's not real, it's just a bad dream, wake up!" I try to push myself up, but I feel like I'm going to be crushed by my own mind.
