I dream dark dreams. I dream of a figure moving through the forest, of children flying from his path, of young women crying at his coming. Furthermore, I dream of snow and ice, of bare branches and moon-cast shadows. Furthermore, I dream of dancers floating in the air, stepping lightly even in death, and my own pain is but a faint echo of their suffering as I run. My blood is black on the snow, and the edges of the world are silvered with moonlight. I run into the darkness, and he is waiting. I dream in black and white, and I dream of him. Furthermore, I dream of Caleb, who does not exist, and I am afraid.
