Just
when you thought it was over
The sky turned black and we all fell
to Earth
Dead in our tracks, we were frozen in fact
Choking
to breathe, then came the seas
Wash away impurities, wash away
all that couldn't be
Everyone will be washed away
Drowning
in the hell that we made
I cannot believe that our end is so near
Everyone will be washed away
Drowning in the hell that we
made
I cannot believe that our end is so near
Standing at
the end of our world
Breathing in the chaos behold
None will
be found, it's all toppling down
Cities will seethe, none could
believe
Wash away impurities, wash away all that couldn't be
Everyone will be washed away
Drowning in the hell that we
made
I cannot believe that their end is so near
Everyone
will be washed away
Drowning in the hell that we made
I
cannot believe that our end is so near
Save me
Save me
from what will engulf this world
Save us
Save us from the
end, save us from ourselves
Save me
Save me from what will
engulf this world
Just when you thought it was over
The
sky turned black and we all fell to Earth
Everyone will be
washed away
Drowning in the hell that we made
I cannot
believe that our end is so near
Everyone will be washed away
Drowning in the hell that we made
I cannot believe that our
end is so near
Everyone will be washed away
Drowning in
the hell that we made
I cannot believe that our end is so near

The day after Alice discovered that Freddy still existed, Jesse Walsh was on his way to work, a broad grin etched on his face as he walked down the sidewalk. He'd proposed to Lisa, she'd said yes, everything was perfect. They would have Lisa's dream wedding, and they'd finally be married.
Jesse was thinking about the young woman he had encountered with the other day. She'd seemed like a really sweet girl - woman, Jesse hadn't been sure of how old she was but she hadn't looked a day over twenty nine in his oppinion. He pictured her face in his mind, longing to see her again, then stopped. You should be thinking about Lisa, Jesse thought to himself, you should be thinking about the wedding, not that Alice girl.
But this was harder than he had predicted. Sighing impatiently Jesse continued brisk-walking to work when he was suddenly caught off balance by a young girl. He looked up hopefully, expecting it to be Alice, but this girl was a lot younger than Alice, it seemed. What, did he always have to bump into girls in the street now? People would talk..
"Oh, sorry," The girl mumbled, biting her lip.
"It's okay," Jesse said, "So, what's your name?" He added, regretting it immidiately. What the hell? Why had he asked what her name was?
"Umm, Lori," The girl said, looking like she was about to laugh, "Why?" She added impatiently, tapping her foot on the ground.
Jesse didn't know what to say to her. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I asked that. I just - thought I recognised you from somewhere," He looked at her again. Yeah, he wasn't lying. He was sure he had seen this Lori girl somewhere before.
Lori screwed up her eyes and looked at him closely, "I bet you heard about me, huh?" She sighed, "Look, I don't care if you think I'm crazy. But what I went through was real, damnit, it was real -"
"Okay, okay!" Jesse cut her off, "Um, not that it's any of my business, but - why should I think you're crazy?"
Lori looked uncomfortable for a moment. "I was the girl who started that rumour about.. the guy from dreams," She looked terrified for a second, then she relaxed. "You didn't hear about it? It was about two years ago.."
Jesse froze. "Dream guy? What?" He shook his head, "No, no way.."
"What is it?" Lori answered him, looking worried.
"You're talking about Freddy Krueger, aren't you?"
Lori didn't answer for a long moment. "Yes.. you know about that?"
"Yes, I fucking know about that," Jesse said, his hands shaking, "I was fucking part of it. Twenty fucking years ago, I was part of that shit. Yeah, I was a victim. Only I survived it. So - he was never really gone?" He looked at her seriously, hoping that it wasn't true.
"No, he came back," Lori's lip trembled, "Listen, I feel like I know you from somewhere too, but I don't.." It was strange, her saying this, because Jesse hadn't recognised her at first but he had felt a strange connection when talking to her, the same connection he had felt when talking to Alice.
"I know," Jesse said, "Listen to me, I need you to tell me the truth - is he back?"
Lori shook her head. "I wouldn't think so. Not since I decapitated him two years back," She said coolly, looking more relaxed. "Don't worry about it. He's gone, for good. But if you were a victim who survived.. does that mean there could be more survivors?"
The thought suddenly occured to Jesse. "I guess so.. and you're sure he's gone?" He felt extremely anxious, "Because I've been having strange dreams lately. I've been going back to that house.."
"1428 Elm Street," Lori said promptly.
Jesse clicked his fingers together, "That's the one. Only, there's never anything there.. but last night," He paused and drew breath, "Last night.. I saw this kid walking up to the house. I looked inside but he wasn't there. Did that happen to you?"
"No, but I still dream about the house," Lori sighed, "It's just been haunting me ever since.." She stopped abruptly, "Listen, sir, I have to go now." She indicated at a tall young kid about her age who was waiting impatiently for her to follow him, "But if this stuff starts again, I - I'd feel better talking to you about it."
"Yeah, me too," Jesse said, "And Lori, how old are you, by the way?" He asked, suspecting that she was a teenager as she was one of the later victims of the nightmares.
Lori smiled at him, "I'm nineteen. How about you?"
"Uh, I'm thirty-six," He said, blushing when Lori gave him a weird look, "Well, I was one of the earlier victims. Anyway, I'll just give you my phone number. Hang on.."
