Don't sleep!!!

[penderwydd]

Tegid could not stay awake forever, and he finally fell asleep, his head resting on a table in the bar. He had been afraid to sleep, now it would be worse

Tegid could not control his legs, and he found himself running down the hall. When he did stop he found he was at the other end of the hall, and a pair of double doors greeted him. The bard pushed through them and found another room, another table, more instruments. On this table was a man, he had been split open from the bottom of his chin to the top of his pubic bone. All of his internals were laid bare, although his organs seemed to be in place. He was attached to a multitude of machines, each one humming and clicking. There was something else there too, something that should not have been there, it was buried in the guts of the man, it was a pulsating blob of tissue that moved and twitched. Tegid moved closer and saw that the man was awake, he was looking right at the bard

And someone laughed.

It wasn't a laugh of goodwill either but something dark and taunting.

Something that seemed to thrive upon the scene of dismay infront of them.

Them...there was more than one.

"Short-timer lost a dime. Short-timer lost a nickle. Lost his marbles in the hole," a boy said from somewhere with the words echoing amongst the halls.

Tegid turned around again.

"Who is there?!" he shouted, "What is this?!"

He turned back to the room. Tegid was alone, as far as he could tell.

"What is going on?!" he shouted into the dark, dingy room.

The shadows seemed to move in jerking little motions.

Footsteps falls out in the hall hard and commanding. "Looney tooney like a rabbit. Short-timers aren't welcome here. Patients for the doctor..."

There was a pause in the words though the footfalls never stop. "Or toys for me."
