I remember it all so vaguely, it started with me sleeping, probably dreaming inside a dream and then i heard slow footsteps approaching me and i felt my heart do somersaults in my chest as i felt someone come closer and closer until the presence stood by my bed, then sat on it by my side and i felt like my heart stopped, i felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and this presence started to shake me, i mustered up all the courage I had and turned to face it or rather, him.
