The sound of the clock ticking was making the wait longer. Karkat needed to sleep, and sleep needed him but Karkat was determined to not sleep. He did not want that horrible dream to come back to get him nor his friends. He wanted them to be safe just for the moment. He wanted to savor the moment that he was having or not seeing that dream. Everyone had asked Karkat was it was he did not want to speak, think, or even hear about it. Karkat knew what was going to happen, aware of the things that was going to become of him and his friends. How he had wished that the present, past and future hims had not had a smart mouth, had been smarter, thought things through. But he couldn't. You cant change who you are over night, over a dream. if you could. Heck miracles.
