You come across a pool of clean looking water and nearly collapse from exhaustion. You take a long drink and splash some on your face. As the ripples dissolve, you take a good look at yourself for the first time since awakening.
Frustrated, you violently punch your reflection. “Who am I?!” you scream at the darkness. Another look in the pool confirms that you’re fairly battered and, worse yet, a strange black growth seems to be visibly spreading from a cut on your cheek. It claws its way up to your eyes, blinding you, before traveling down to your throat and cutting off your airways. You try to scream as you lose consciousness…
You awaken. Just a dream. Wearily, you press onward.
