Find my muse moving in their sleep to a dream or nightmare
The sound of gears clanking and the whir of machines blend into an odd melody in her ears as she stalks through the halls of the space station, her path marked by the illuminated lights coursing through the floor. Like veins, twisting into some horrid imitation of life. The culmination of her father’s twisted desires. She’s alone, axe gripped tightly in hand.
... Alone? No, wasn’t she supposed to be with someone else? What was she doing?
That thought drifts away as soon as it comes to mind. Just keep walking. She spots a shadow in the form of a drone, monitor twisting in a set rotation as it rolls around. It hasn’t noticed her yet. Good. Best dispose of it now. Get it out of the way. (Wait...)
She ducks behind each corner, slowly closing in... (No, this isn’t right. Stop...)
And at just the right moment, as it turns to head back...!
Haru awakes with a gasp, but isn’t shaken from within the confines of her room. Rather, she’s out in the cool night air. On the street, arms reared back with a mallet in hand. What...?
A strangled cry tears through her ears, causing her to look down, and see a man, a complete stranger beneath her, cowering in fear. From her?
The mallet clatters to the floor in her shock, but before she can say anything, the man scrambles to his feet, taking the opportunity to escape. But why? What was she doing here? What happened? Was she sleep walking? What...?
Her head slowly turns, and her breath catches in her throat as she sees a pair of luminous yellow eyes, staring at her the entire time.
