Nightmare

In the depths of his mind, Alex found himself ensnared in a nightmarish realm of twisted shadows and writhing tendrils. The disgusting looking tentacle creature had wrapped its tentacles around his spirit — his very soul. Its grotesque form pulsated with dark energy as it launched a relentless assault on his soul.

The creature's psychic attacks were relentless, tearing at Alex's mind and feeding him his worst fears and doubts at once. His soul itself was taking damage, delivering unimaginable pain to him second by second. With each passing moment, he felt his soul shatter and be reborn, only for the process to repeat again in another moment.

'Is this it? Is this where I die?'

The pain was so unbearable that Alex's willpower started to wane, and he became convinced that he was going to die the more he experienced the terrors the nightmarish creature had pulled him into.
