As awareness returns, confusion and panic swell within me once more. Where am I? My pounding head starts to clear as dim torchlight reveals cold stone walls closing in on all sides.
No...not again. Fragments of memory emerge through the haze - dinner with Thomas, the strange meat that awakened something primal within. Then darkness overtook my senses, and those nightmares...
Shakily getting to my feet, I lean against the wall catching my breath. What madness is this? I trusted Thomas, let his silken words stir desires long suppressed. But this...
This place... I know it well, It feels hauntingly familiar, like a memory that has been etched into the depths of my consciousness. I recognize it from nights gone by, from dreams that have lingered in the shadowed corners of my mind.
