He felt his eyes close completely and his body relax, all tension
fading away. In an instant, though, his body began to jerk around.
Gasping for breath, he threw his body forward and wrenched open
his eyes. With a deep intake of air, he looked around and saw not
the darkness that had previously consumed him but the familiar
surroundings of his room. His covers laid askew around him as his
heart beat rapidly, almost as though it was trying to break out from
the cage of his chest. It was a dream - nothing but a dream.
