Exhausted and beat, Kai grasps his face. The prominent slap that the girl he saved has left a mark. The battle that left one town saved and a hero in pain. His shoulder gashed deeply, a painful memory of the dragon’s last attack before being dismantled and left headless. Kai stands in distraught his right-hand holding his left shoulder and his left hand grasping his face. He watches as the girl he saved stampedes off with steam coming from her ears as her ass imprinted with a bloodied hand, the hand print that Kai had accidentally left. Kai stands within the beloved town just staring at his hand wondering if something was actually wrong. The silence is broken as his companions join him. Even before he can say anything Amber, the girl secretly in love with Kai, slaps him across the face ferociously as fire burns with in her eyes. Without giving him time to explain, Amber scolds Kai and begins to yell “I don’t believe you oh my gosh. What is wrong with you? Do you have to grope every hot girl you see?” Kai looks at her as if a hint of jealousy has arose, but knowing if ever bought up he’d be tormented like no other and can only reply “It wasn’t me this time I swear. This hand is out of control…” Just then, Kai passes out clinching his shoulder as he crashes to the ground.
The next morning Kai wakes up in a bed with his shoulder bandaged and in a sling. He hears Melody and Amber talking in the next room and as he goes and sees how they are doing, his left hand breaks from the sling and gropes Melody upon her ass.

... in bed. He looks at his left hand and then feels his shoulder bandaged and in pain. He removes the bandage and his deep wound has not healed. He lies back down trying to catch his breath when as four people enter the room. They sit next to him asking what had happened and all he can say is “nothing it was a dream…just a bad dream.” As his friends stick by his side watching over him he notices the pouring outside. The rain smashes at the windows like hail and he whispers to himself “even the heavens weep.” But outside a notorious figure works the night, peering through the window he steps aside and takes his leave. With a malevolent grin on his lips his raspy voice utters “Kai…you are almost ready.” The wet and dark night shakes and rumbles as a devilish laugh echoes through the night making even the Devil himself quiver. This is only the beginning of the end.

People have been interested in them for centuries and they have quite an interesting past to them. People used to believe that the dream anxiety attack was caused
The Nightmare Dreams are often visions of the conscience that hold the most truth. In the novel, Cracking India, by Bapsi Sidhwa, the narrator Lenny, has a reoccurring nightmare that contains much truth about the state of India. In Lenny’s nightmare, Children lie in a warehouse.

She strokes
Kid’s Worst Nightmare The worst nightmare for a child in elementary school is to hear his/her teacher say they will have no recess. Most children look forward to recess every day and some could even play everyday all day if they could.

The council on Physical Education for Children agree that recess is a necessity, they state that “Recess is a time that gives children opportunities
Fuseli’s Nightmare moved into a decidedly late-eighteenth century world of darkness and irrationality that would soon be hallmarks of much Romanticism. Fuseli’s exploration of Nightmares would become impactful in the art world, creating subject matter that would be used by many artist following him. A similar interest in irrationality informed the most widely reproduced painting of the late eighteenth century, Henry Fuseli's Nightmare of 1781. Fuseli's work explored a world of sexual nightmare and rape
Rape: A Living Nightmare Is anyone truly a stranger to nightmares? Has anyone not woken up in a feverish sweat with a racing pulse or pounding heart?

The Miracle Cure or Nightmare Drug? I. Introduction It is pretty safe to say that the majority of the population, if given the opportunity, would like to be in good physical shape.

My American Nightmare Many people today talk of their American Dreams…how much they want to fulfill a fantasy of houses, wives, cars, and jobs that pay well. To me, becoming the same as everyone else…fulfilling the dream of a life that I don’t want is in truth not a dream, but a horrible nightmare which my education has tried to direct me towards, and that I have fought at every turn.

in-depth look at a different aspect of dreaming: nightmares. While it is possible that the same things that cause dreaming also cause nightmares, but nightmares are unarguably a species all on their own.

Wilkerson stresses the fact that nightmares are meant to be an escape. Yes, they are often

Toys R Us and the Nightmare before Christmas When I tell people I worked at a toy store, they tend to respond with, “Ah, that’s so cool,” or “So, you got to play with toys all day.” I had been known to perfect my video game skills and snag action figures, but a toy store is not as fun as you may think. Children looked at me as though I was the epitome of fun and enjoyment as I offered assistance in my blue vest with a huge transfer of Geoffrey the Giraffe on the back. Parents came to me thinking
