Pit Trap

I'm not sure how many people have those dreams, where you're falling. I think it's a fair few.

I think that, for a lot of people, it's a momentary sensation, just as you fall asleep. And you always wake up, just before you hit the ground. That's the bit everyone knows.

Why am I still falling?


Everything's rushing past me. I can't see. I can't feel anything, this place is airless.

I wonder when I'll hit the bottom. I wonder if there is a bottom. There has to be, bottomless pits don't exist.

Then again, how did I get here? Oh, right - this is a dream. It's hard to tell, it feels real...I look at my hands. I pray it's truly a dream. How can I not be sure?

I think I see the ground.


Ouch. Yes, that was the ground.

...Now where am I? At least I can see now.

...Oh God. What is that? Why aren't I still falling? Why did there have to be a bottom?

Get me out of here!
