There is a common misconception about sleep. Most people believe that you only have one dream during rest; this is, in fact false. Dreams occur during the REM stage of sleep—or, rapid eye movement—and sleep, in turn runs in a number of cycles, allowing people to experience more than one cycle of REM in one night, and thus more than one dream.
You see, most people believe that only one dream can be experienced during sleep because most only usually remember the dream of the REM stage before waking up, with it being fresh in their mind. But no, the fact is that you have more than one dream—or, as it is sometimes, nightmare.
A medic on the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team had managed to endeavor the first stage of hell in a night of endless terror by enlisting the aide of someone whom was, by society's standards, her bitter and hated enemy. And just as with sleep, the medic got a brief respite from dawn, but now she is in the second cycle of REM—a nightmare worse than the last.
And this time, she doesn't have the help of her black knight…. Will the maiden endure the terror? Or will she succumb to the darkness spawned by the minds of bereaved madmen who have played God?
Authors Note: Okay, yes, I know I haven't updated in about a month and a half, but the truth is I want to be very, very, very careful with how I set out the following events, as they can make or break the story, I feel. I haven't forgotten the story—and you guys won't have to endure an over-half-a-year update-wait period for the next update, either. I just want to ensure that this story is the highest quality one that I can offer to you guys.
Oh, and I know that the little random blurb up top seems strange, but I just typed it out since does not allow the posting of only author's notes as separate chapters, so I did added that to confirm to the rules and guidelines. It doesn't have anything to do with the story, per se, I just took something that I could analogy to the plot and wrote a short, philosophical-like blurb.
I can, however, promise you guys one huge-ass update that might just be ten thousand plus words when I do update, though.
