Warnings: Nightmares? :/
Danny jolted awake, dripping with terror sweat and heart thudding in his chest. He hadn't screamed, had he?
He didn't think so. He didn't hear anyone coming to check on him, at least.
Fuck, he was so tired. He just wanted more than an hour's sleep at a time, but every time he fell asleep sober, the nightmares came. The Overlook, obviously, and given where he was, the alien ghosts were making an appearance, along with some creepy version of the station with horrendous things happening on it, and a godawful endless beach full of floating people weighed down by cords who were all staring at him with silver dead eyes, and all sorts of other weird shit all mixed in with it.
He stared up at the ceiling for a while, trying to shake off the lingering nightmares, and then got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to get himself washed. He had a plan, but he needed to not be a gross teenage boy for it.

Washed and dressed for going out into the stupid weird snow, Danny carefully let himself out of Brenna's house in the park, and started to walk towards the elevators. He was going to go to Bryn's bar. He didn't want to get drunk (yes he did) but it was the only thing he knew of that made the nightmares and ghosts go away. And he just wanted to sleep, so it wasn't too bad. It was helping him. Right? Right.
He got the elevator all the way down to the spine bit, and then made his way along to the elevators for wheel 3, and then got the elevator all the way up to the right floor for the bar. He kept yawning, he couldn't help it, even when he had a quick smoke as he walked towards Bryn's place. Hopefully, he could get in and out without any hassle. Then he'd have a couple of drinks and be able to sleep. Dreamless sleep. That was all he wanted.
