Hypnopomp. Final First, #7

Ben doesn't need to wake up from a bad dream if this is what happens. It's a crappy night of sleep for poor Ben at his mother-in-law's house. If you're reading this far instead of just reading the story, I guess you can know the first part is just a nightmare- but what the hell is going on after that? Jeezum crow!A sort of horror so precious that you'd think it's only found in big-budget movies: the nested nightmare.
The fever dream without the fever. The dream that truly strains that ineffable sense we have that what's real is real and what's not is not, even though we think our dreams are real at the time. Matthew Atkinson beams into your brain a horrific SHORT STORY from his collection, Final First. Read "Hypnopomp" first thing when you wake up in the morning so you have time to recover.
