PHANTOM OF DREAM STILLNESS

Description: I am the phantom. i dwell in the quiet spaces between thoughts, in the stillness just before you close your eyes. when you look at me, i do not scream. but something inside you changes. fear takes root. you begin to dread the darkness behind your eyelids. i do not chase — i linger. i infect your mind with the terror of dreaming, until even the act of closing your eyes becomes unbearable.
