I stammered as I tried to squint for my alarm clock. My eyes slowly focused, and blurry red numbers eventually greeted them. 8:35 PM. I'd almost give a damn if I had anything important to do. I didn't really have a sense of time as I was cooped up in my small lonely apartment. Why would I need to wake up at a certain time if I have nothing in the world to do besides play games?

Oh fuck, last night! Did the blanket goddess finally take me? Thank you for easing my life and eyes into your warm cuddle. I still needed to inspect the room though, I’m positive something was right behind me. I’ve had sleep paralysis before, but this felt different.

Right as I was getting out of bed, something flashed in the corner of my eyes. Green? Green was the only thing I can make out of what my peripheral vision just saw. scanning the room carefully like a trained hawk for the tiniest of mouses. I rubbed my eyes as I checked where I thought I saw the flash.

Nothing was there at all. Am I going crazy? Pretty funny considering I already think I am and have been for a while now. The kitchen slowly caught my attention. My god, what if someone took the Ramen?! Quickly rushing to the fridge and flinging it open to check the status of my precious food supply. My babies are safe, thank the blanket! I grabbed some packaged ramen, because fuck knows I can't cook for myself worth a damn. Right as I was peeling the top off the ramen another flash in the corner of my eyes occurred. Jesus christ, do I need new glasses? An eye examine perhaps? A mental and eye examine? Yes to all but that's besides the point right now.

This isn't normal, what the fuck man, maybe a doctor's visit really is way past due, all jokes aside. I rubbed my eyes again and checked where I was certain something green was. "I'm not going crazy.. well even crazier," I softly spoke to myself. After a short moment of staring blankly at my wall I managed to gather myself together like a bundled quiver of arrows, tightly knit together. I am in control of myself, I can manage anything that happens.

I decided to go sit on my couch and watch television. Try to ease my mind, but I was still being extremely paranoid and cautious. What a fucking way to enjoy a Saturday, well not like Saturday held any special meaning to someone who never works or does anything.

Everyday is my Saturday as far as I'm concerned. Fuck Mondays though, seriously despite not having a sense of time or days, even I can feel the dreariness of Mondays. It’s like a cursed day that haunts humans to the end of earth. It’s a status infliction, I call it “Society’s Beginning of Hell”, it's the beginning of most work days that people dread to their very soul.

"I was pregnant," was whispered right behind my ear so close I got shivers tingling up my spine as cold as the top of mount Everest. I jolted up while falling down at the same time, somehow, don’t fucking ask me. I managed to crash face first into my hard wooden floor making a loud thud, leaving a thin sheen of my blood nose splattered across it.

I tried to get back up and look around as quickly as I could. I felt warm drops fall down my nose. Really!? A bloody nose? Not just a trickle either. It’s flowing like a.. ya know what, nevermind.

I felt my face get hot and I quickly needed to plug my nose with something before I fainted from such a pathetic thing. Actually I should've fainted from that fucking creepy voice. I think a warm touch with my goddess is far overdue. What do you mean it’s only been like 10 minutes? You telling me you want to leave the embrace of a hot goddess if given the chance? I thought so, back to the creepy voice though.

It was a soft and sweet voice speaking in a matter of fact tone. "I was pregnant." Rang over and over in my head like a telephone ring of a scam company. Who was pregnant? Am I the fucking father!? No Impossible, I’m a virgin.

Was this apartment haunted and they finally showed themselves?! Preying on sweet innocent me as I stuck to my goddess!? More shivers tingled down my spine as though this was actually the case. Maybe it’s a hot ghost though. Ohh what if that shiver is because.. she’s inside me? What if it’s.. heaven forbid.. an old creepy man. Or aliens wanting to prob my sacred hole!

I gave up right then and there of making sense of it. I did however rush to grab tin foil and hole myself up in the comfort of a blanket fort, with my goddess’s protection from above, I was surely safe. Of course I also brought salt with me too.

Imagine a grown man in his underwear and tin foil hat grumpily sprinkling salt near his bed looking over his back for green flashes. I told you I was awesome didn’t I? Ahh you didn’t think it was to this level though, it’s okay, understandable greenhorn, I’m sure you can manage.

Believe it or not I probably could go back to sleep already. It's what I did before I found video games to bide my time. Nonstop lethargic sleeping was my answer to life during those times, and well still kinda is.

I was pretty comfortable with my goddess watching me above, still thinking about those scary quiet words. Pregnant ehh? That actually ruled out old creep man didn’t it, what if it’s - while I lay there thinking, something was coming towards me. From where!? What was it? It was.. It was.. a morbid face twisted and blurry. A face with bloodied tusks and harsh green skin, emerald eyes that held the saddest sorrow, clear as the day almost holding back tears.

The female face now changed emotions to that of anger, sadness, and killing intent. Closer and closer this face came, almost shooting at me.  I wanted my goddess to fall down and block this sight from me, cover my body, heat my core, this thing is absolutely terrifying. It had no body, no source. It was floating, flying towards me slowly, getting bigger and bigger.

"You killed my child!" the face screamed at me, echoing the entire room and bed. The distorted face wasn't going to stop its assault there either. The green face shook violently as it made another thunderous remark "WHY!?". My fucking window rattled at the sound of her voice echoing in my mostly empty apartment.

There wasn't anything I could do during this, because I'm petrified to the bone right now and managed to fucking soil myself. I'm shaking like a drug addict who hasn't had their fix in a long time. Right in my face this green shape was screaming at me, like a drill sergeant would to a solider who really, really fucked up. My skull shook at her last word of why, my eardrums almost popped from the pure volume of her deep voice.

My vision blurred to black after the last shakes of my body escaped me. Very slowly my body gave in the to fear of what just unfolded in front of me. The face screaming why instantly reminded me of that Orc Chieftain I killed in "The New Era".

It also quickly made sense to me that the floating face was an orc. These were my last thoughts of vagueness as I passed out from fear.

I had a dream, a small dream throughout the night. It was a dream of redemption, a tall human woman was standing high near a cliff, lovely red hair that flowed down to her waist, swaying in the wind gracefully. She was beautiful, absolutely astonishing. I’m not sure what it was she was redeeming, but that's the feeling I got from her.

In a moments fleeting breath, flashes of her stabbing monsters in the eyes, their throats, their fucking ball sacks for christ sake, ripping their arms off and bitch slapping them as their bones crumbled before the force.

The dream carried on for a very long time, much was lost in the red mist of my thoughts. I couldn’t tell what her goal was, her purpose. I had no idea at all what she was doing in this world. It felt like she didn’t belong in this world, like she was an anomaly, something that wasn’t supposed to happen brought her here? Maybe that was her redemption goal.

I was sweating tossing and turning in my dream as I experienced all this, there was enough sweat to fill a whores bathhouse after a fun night out. I couldn’t believe I was seeing all this, it was some of the most brutal shit I could ever fathom. She was a total badass though.
