The Nightmare

Here's a completely (un)original piece written for class by yours truly.

The Nightmare
By : Michael T. Flanders

It's a realm of eternal darkness, fortified with the screams and cries of the forsaken. Although a close relative to Hell, the Nightmare Universe very rarely is full of fire or brimstone... Unless that's what you're afraid of. This is the place where the Boogie Man exists, where reality and logic are checked at the door, where HE dwells. Known only as the Entertainer, this man feeds off the agony of others. Your pain is his breakfast, your sorrow is his afternoon tea. Upon first glance you'll think this man is a saint, a person of virtue and truth. However, this only until his mascara runs, leaving a stained image of black leather, snakes, dismembered corpses and a top hat... You can never forget the top hat. The only good thing about this man is his lack of singularity, for he sees EVERYONE as an enemy, not just the righteous dreamers who accidentally invade his home, but the wicked and the damned as well.

This is where the story ends for now. As a rough map of something to work with... It still comes off as completely stolen from someone else. lol But hey, I'm writing about what I know, who can fault me for that, right?
