The worst kind of nightmare isn't the one about being chased by blind corridors, or running into the living dead in your own home. For one, you wake up from dreams like that in the long run, and though you may rouse with your heart in your throat and a scream in your lungs, there's always the sunlight on your face or the warmth of the new day to remind you that none of it was real.
It's the nightmare that comes upon you slowly that you should fear. Those are about the situations that carry over into your reality, things that can happen or will happen just because time keeps marching forward no matter what the hell you try to do to halt it.
No flock of birds will take flight across the sky at 3:02 PM to save you from time. In the banquet of your perfect day, she will come in.
If she doesn't, the world will.
