Nighttime Terrors

The demons danced in the early hours. I laid my head down but their disco kept going. I tried to ignore it and was successful for a moment until they reminded me of my wrongdoings and I awoke again. I guess I'll be sleep-deprived for another night.

I haven't slept for months but I haven't given up yet. They have started scratching the inside of my skull with even more persistence and vigor and it's taking its toll on my body.

The hallucinations are getting worse. They're not just in my head anymore but walking around the house and trying to make small talk with me. It's getting to be too much to take on a daily basis and I feel I may soon succumb to their torturous ideas.

Today's the day. They've finally convinced me that the only way to rid of them and for me to get any rest is to pull the trigger.
