He wakes up in his bed again like he does every morning, but with one more piece of him missing than before. Another nightmare that has left him beaten, bruised and broken. A dream so vivid that it feels so real. He dreams in color and in pain. He wakes up with unexplained scratches, bruises and sometimes cuts. The unimaginable. He feels so empty. Like every bone in his body has been broken over and over again then binded back together. Every night, It never fails, when he closes his eyes and goes into a deep sleep he appears in this cold dark place, but yet so bright. He is in the spotlight like on stage surrounded by an audience. He sings to entertain them sometimes, but in the end he always ends up getting abused. He even recognized a few people that he knows applauding for him. As he gets older, it occurs every night. He tries to get clever and avoid it but there's no way out. Even tried to stay up all night so that he wouldn't sleep. Eventually his body couldn't take anymore and he passes out into a deep sleep . He is there even longer, in his dreams. Time is the same in his nightmares. Twenty years go by of being tortured in the worst way imaginable every night, before he realizes what is really going on. It has never been a dream all alone, just as he suspected, but something way worse beyond the minds comprehension. Every night his conscious has been transferred into a clone of his own somewhere deep underground, where he is repeatedly raped, beaten and tortured for sport. His pain is entertainment.
