Nightmare
Endlessly tortured, endlessly gone
insane. And it got even worse when an
endless day of torture eased into an
interminable night of horror. Vicious
day passed over into cruel night. The
night air cooled. The flesh chilled.
Tortured by the stone still burning
him in his back, losing its heat slower
than the night time air. Chilling on his
front even as his back still sizzled like
meat over the dying embers of the rock.
Demons had assailed his night. Devils
had tormented his mind in the endless
tortured night. Their wild dogs bit at
his flesh. Muscles in his legs shaken in
their jaws as they tore off his skin.
Horrors had beset his mind. Little rest.
On fire. His body locked into this
motionlessness came under attack by
biting spasms. Devils pinched him.
