In A Cold Sweat

by Fan Of Games

A poem from Daniel's perspective as he makes his way through Castle Brennenburg in a cold sweat.

In A Cold Sweat

I wake up in a cold sweat

On the floor of a decrepit hallway

In a castle I've somehow found myself in

I walk through these halls in a cold sweat

Strange occurrences happen all around me

The lantern I've discovered brings light to the darkness

For it is the only source I can bring with me

Unlike the stationary torches and candles located throughout the castle

I shudder in a cold sweat

For I learn secrets I may have never known about myself

Or must have forgotten somehow one way or another

I must kill a man in a cold sweat

Why? What has he done to me?

Is he too, in a cold sweat?

I flee from the monsters in a cold sweat

And the thing that seems to be following me

Lurking in the shadows, just waiting for me to slip up

I've found another in a cold sweat

Seeking to go where my supposed "intended victim" must go

So I free him from the shackles that bind him in a cold sweat

I've reached the end in a cold sweat

And now I must make a choice in a cold sweat

…

This was originally going to be a story, but I made it a poem instead. Several Amnesia stories I wanted to do will also be poems because I want to get more ideas done in a timely manner, which is why I'm going for this format instead of an original novelized tale.
