The nightmare returned..
Darkness has fallen around me.
I find myself huddled next to a campfire.
The wind is howling relentlessly.In the distance I can hear the monsters.
The demons that exist with my mind and souls;
They have taken form and are hunting for me.

Attempting to brace myself for what is to come.
I can sense the great leader of these demons approaching.
His dark, twisted voice speaks to me.
"It is your fault, you know?
You allowed all of this to happen.
You are too weak.
All of the abuse, your pain, your suffering.

None of this would have ever happened.
And because you were not strong enough,
You now will be destroyed by that which haunts you."
I stand and turn to face my greatest demon.
Just before he extinguished the fire,

I witness the truth I had been running from.
My greatest demon...
