Round 2, Challenge #2
Set after "A New Man"
My darling girl, that's an unusual question and, I fear, a tedious subject. Surely we can find more pleasant ways to pass the time? Perhaps we could discuss a different sort of dream. Yes, yes - you're right. I agreed to this interview, and I should just answer the questions. Such a pretty little thing to be so stubborn…
What haunts my nightmares? Nothing. Now, don't look at me like that, young lady. I'm not being flip; I'm quite serious.
When I say "nothing", I'm referring to an utter lack of anything. During my… while I was in there, I was allowed no distraction save what I could provide on my own. No one spoke to me. The walls were blank and white. The lights were on constantly, so that I couldn't even track time. I was given food and a place to sleep, but the only voice I ever heard was my own. There was nothing else. Nothing changed. Nothing happened.
That nothing is what follows me to sleep. That nothing is what gives me…
Yes, well. Do excuse me, won't you? I'm suddenly quite tired and should very much like to retire for the evening. Sweet dreams, young lady.
