dark star | nathaniel mill | 👁 Wake my muse up during a nightmare @defymydarkness

Now that he was both of things and learned the reality of it all wasn’t as idealistic and joyous, there was no reason to dream. He loved what he did, what he built. Truly.

But when he did dream, they weren’t dreams. They were nightmares. Visions of violence, seeing his colleagues harmed —and worse, killed— in excruciating ways. Why did it always have to be bad dreams he had, if ever? He wasn’t sure how he fell asleep on his couch, nor how Nathaniel found his way into his suite, but he was certainly glad to be woken from his darkness.
