Dark Visions

It's coming back and I don't know what to do.

It starts with insomnia, sleeplessness and the anxiety of not being able to get a night's rest. When I close my eyes I can feel them dart from side to side, stirring, whirling in circles while light and darkness switching like a flickering from an old movie projection. But when I try to open my eyes they can't stay open for long. I get pulled back into the world where it's as real as it gets.

And then comes the nightmares. The images of nonsense. Like flash cards of death, dead things, awful things that run through my head, shaking me up with this memory game. I try to disconnect them from my mind's eye but I can't do it.

The third stage is when I finally manage to wake with the shivers still in me. My heart rolls like thunder and I wonder if all these are premonitions or the beginning of my insanity.
