Another night filled with nightmares

I am awake now but still partially attached to the sinister nightmare. It’s tentacles continue to hold tight as I fumble and grasp at the slippery sides of complete consciousness. Fear lingers around the shadowy edges as it proceeds to distort reality. I am so tired but acutely aware that my fatigue is attempting to pull me back into a deep sleep. No, No! I must fight to stay awake because to fail means I will most likely return once again into the full nightmare as I have done so many times before. Sit up Rhonda. Move around, type some more. Do anything-just stay awake!
