A weight presses down on him in the dark. He cannot open his eyes, cannot even breathe. He can only listen as Blue’s multilayered voice, soft yet insistent, whispers its way through his ears and inside his skull.

We tried to explain it to you, and then we tried to warn you away. But you don’t seem to want to listen.

A creeping dread crawls up Jason’s legs, along his chest and arms. The sensation is relentless, as if he is being overtaken by an army of ants.

We were here before the first traveler, here with only the sound of rushing wind and buzzing bees, and insects that burrow and bite. Do you know what we are? We are inevitable.

Pressure upon his face and cheeks, and Jason squirms as his eyelids are lifted against his will. He catches a glimmer of fractalling light, a passing shadow between himself and the night sky, the moon full to bursting overhead.

You still don’t see.

Blue is close enough to touch, the words everywhere at once.

You can’t see us with these eyes.

At once, a stinging sensation eclipses him; he tries to wriggle free but cannot move, his body cocooned in a web of total paralysis.

We can help you with that . . .

Unseen tendrils dig into Jason’s eye sockets, slender and probing fingers taking hold of the fragile eggs that are his eyes. He tries to scream, tries to wake, anything but this. Anything at all.

His eyes are plucked from him with a rending of tissue and skin, the slippery wet worms of his optic nerves snapped back inside his skull. He cries out but all is silence, and he falls farther into the nightmare, further inside himself. Move on, he mouths, move on, and finally he hears, the words a steady drumming of horse hooves through his otherwise disintegrating unconscious.
