--Teaser-
A nightmare starts like this.

There is darkness surrounding a place. A large place; always a large place full of rooms and nooks and crannies and corners and closets and endless doors that can lead to any number of places and rooms. The large place always has a yard, a yard full of crawling and slithering plants that haven't been touched and probably will never be touched from their own sheer force of will. Plants do have a will of their own, especially these kind, everyone knows that.

The lights are always out in the house, bathing even the darkness in a darker non-light. And yet, there is always a room lit, from something else standing there, looking out across the windy and foreboding darkness. And that shape doesn't need the light around him. That shape only needs the energy around it.

It never looks human. It might have been once… but it's not anymore. It's not even close anymore, a formless shape bent on listening and watching over the territory it has appointed as its own. It doesn't care about the light or the darkness. It just cares that this place is his. It belongs to no one else.

Tresspassers aren't welcome.

Tresspassers aren't wanted.

Just like it was never wanted. It was always an unwanted presence here… so it finally decided, after all this time, that the least it could do was claim the territory… and return the favor.
