Abnormal Adam

Back to Maya's POV:

A slight racking of something steely from a distance drew me out of the shadows of darkness to my relief into some bright white light.

I coughed slightly, feeling my throat itching a bit and closing up.

What was the matter now? What was the dream all about?

My eyes still closed, I tried to ruminate on the meaning of the dream which had seemed to have gone on for hours.

But nothing came up. I didn't understand one bit of it.

I didn't know who those crying ugly women were, or what the valley was all about, never even heard of it before, until the dream. Not that I am even sure that the spot exists in real life.

For all I know all these fucked up dream was a characteristic of…

characteristics of what? I heard my mind ask in a way, as if taunting me.

But I came up short. A characteristic of what? Why was I hallucinating or having dreams without foundations, or at least so I thought.
