Nightmare

There's a reason why they call it a nightmare. When something horribly unexpected goes wrong.

It seemed like it would never have happened. Could never have happened. But it did. And it is so horrible and so unexpected that it makes you want to scream. It feels unreal. Your mind half accepts it, and half doesn't. You're in denial. Severe denial. You just want to wake up.

The pangs of pain that pierce your heart when you wish, wish beyond wishes that you were back in the past... able to prevent the mistake, avoid the nightmare, wake up from your dream... Sometimes, it seems too unreal.

But it is. It is real. Soon, you slowly accept that it is real. Soon, you realise you do have to wake up. Cos if you don't wake up, you'd simply grow mad. simply. grow. mad.

To prevent madness, you wake up. You wake up into your nightmare.
