Turning the tide.

I wake in a start a feeling of dread at the back of my mind I wonder if I really did it this time? Is it over or am I being to confident? I look to the right to see my wife sleeping peacefully by my side I start to relax and lay back down to sleep when I feel the fine hairs on the back of my neck start to rise. My eyes pop open and start to bulge as I feel a weight of unyielding force start to press down on me, I'm trembling and shaking so hard I feel the bed moving beneath me I'm struggling to breath then I see them the sick green eyes followed by the smile full of long sharp white teeth I feel the dread and hatred emanating from him then I hear his laugh sickining and guttural he winks and I'm free and he was gone, I knew it wasn't over it had only just started this battle for the world and my soul wouldn't be over for some time. How did I expect it to be?
