I have been chosen by the Eternal Nightmare.
This isn't something I wanted, necessarily. But I was not opposed to accepting Syn's help when it was the only way to get my experiments to work. Which, at its heart, was the only way I was going to survive. But now Syn taunts me. Always before survival was enough, but here the Eternal Nightmare can kill me whenever it pleases. It made that quite clear.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
But even though I've died, I am not dead. Syn will not end my nightmare by letting me truly die. So maybe this is survival of another sort. Maybe it will be enough. Maybe.
Survival's always been enough before.
