OOM: Dreams Darker than Wine

[originalmarvel]

Billy tossed and turned in his bed. He was asleep, deep in dreaming, deep in nightmares.

Swirling skies revolved around darkness,

edges of blood and faces screaming,

moment of lucidity as he watched them die,

faces he knew

faces he loved

moments of darkness and pain...

...vision fresh from darkness:

grunting, pain, sharp burning, twisting hard and deep,

a knife to his throat,

darkness filling him like a tidal wave but not breaking over him and he just wanted to scream...

but even as he felt like he was about to...

he sank once more into nightmare and darkness...
