What a horrifying thought to be left alone with your own mind. Swimming alone in the emptiness of space, only to find you are not alone. Something else, something unseen, unknown, is swirling around, coming closer. Whispering in the dark, messages of the true reality. Nothing was ever what it seemed. Nothing was like they told you. They wanted you to forget. They wanted you to stay simple, powerless, useless. But in the darkness, you feel it. You feel the eyes watching you and the strange faces melting in the blackness. Do you understand what it’s like to be afraid of your own mind? You will.
