I am so tired. I didn't get a bit of sleep last night. I don't know what's going on but it seems that the nightmares that have been plaguing so many finally found their way to my house. The dream started nicely enough. I was sitting in this large comfortable room curled up on a sofa with a book before the fireplace. Next thing I knew there was screaming coming from a girl standing by one of the windows. We all rushed to see what was going on and there was a giant skull in the sky with a snake coming out of it's mouth.
When I awoke I had this horrible pit in my stomach. I hadn't felt that kind of heaviness since my friend Jennifer died back in high school. The worst part was that every time I tried to go back to sleep the image was imprinted on my mind and the feeling of dread washed over me and wouldn't let go. Since I couldn't sleep I grabbed the sketch book and
sketched it out so it would leave my mind. The image was still there when I closed my eyes but the dread lifted a bit. It was as if by sketching it out I took ownership over the image rather than it having ownership of me.
