The golden hall glimmered with something like sunlight. The child held the dagger. They lunged at Geno, slashing with all their might. Geno jumped away, laughing. Tears streamed down his face, he kept laughing.

Chara stood in a patch of grass. It was raining. They were staring at another person...theirself. A demon version of theirself. Their double's face was immersed in black goo that oozed downward, hitting the grass. Where the goo dripped, buttercups sprung forth from the dirt. The demon chara just smiled. The goo began to drip from open slashes on the demon's arms. The flowers that grew began tangling around Chara's feet.

"DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP?" Geno screamed, his voice a pathetic croak. The child looked up at this, but their face had changed. Now, staring back at Geno was his own face, merged onto the child's body. The permanent smile was unsettling. "no." The thing responded. It put forth its arms, which were covered in little needle pinpricks. "i'm determined to kill you."

The rain felt like it was drowning Chara. The buttercups wound up their legs, grabbing them, pulling them down into the dirt. Chara's double just kept smiling as its body succumbed to the black goop, the demon Chara began to melt. Chara kept sinking into the ground, they couldn't move, they screamed. 'Hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams.' The flowers seemed to say. And then, a voice, right in Chara's ear, "Hurry up and die, so we can see the sun." Chara stopped sinking, although they were half encased in leaves and mud. They couldn't move. The flowers were winding their way into their mouth. There was a knife in their hand.

"THEN...do it." Geno began to cry, although he was still laughing, he couldn't stop. "with pleasure." the thing responded. It jumped forward, and swung the knife. Geno stayed perfectly still as the thing dug the knife into him.

"Doooo ittttt." Chara's melting double encouraged as it fell to the floor, becoming no more than a puddle on the ground. Chara steeled their nerves, they knew what their only option was, what their only option had ever been. With DETERMINATION, they shoved the knife into their gut.

Geno woke up in a cold sweat.

Chara woke up crying.

On both sides there was a pause, a moment of hesitation, fear, and uncertainty. And then, they both decided that going back to sleep wasn't worth the trouble. They stood from their beds and went to find a midnight snack.


Things are about to get real. So, I wasn't sure if this was clearly indicated, but the paragraphs were alternating between the nightmares of Geno Sans and Chara. If you thought that that concept was too vague, please tell me, I can edit. Or if you thought that the surreal back and forth was interesting and good, please tell me that too. In fact, please tell me your general thoughts, good or bad. I could really use the feedback. So please hit that button, and have a nice day!
