Once they had been spotted, the creatures wasted no time in engaging in battle. Each of them split their heads wide open, then spit a disgusting looking black liquid at Mikajia. Thankfully the globs weren’t all that fast, so he was able to dodge them fairly easily. He tossed his flashlight into the air, then fired off three of his stronger spells, each practically shredding through the creatures. He was breathing pretty quickly, his eyes glancing around looking to see if any other monstrosities might be coming for him, but nothing else appeared. What did appear, were several flashes of images around him in the darkness. Images of his worst fears and nightmares, as well as his most depressing and debilitating thoughts.
This was truly a world of nightmares and hellish memories. Everything about it, from the creatures attacking you, to the constant reminders all around you; this whole place was designed to make you face every thing you hated and feared. He simply stood there, breathing slowly as he looked at his own fears and weaknesses, being displayed as if on a big screen television. But he didn’t turn away, there was no reason to. What would that accomplish? With unwavering determination, he stood there and faced his worst memories and fears.
Some unknown time later, the dark world around him would disappear, and Mikajia would find himself back in his original world, lying on the ground of the small room he’d been in when he injected himself. The doctor was shaking him awake, telling him it was over. To his utter surprise though, when Mikajia stood up, he realized he wasn’t alone in this room, aside from the doctor of course. What he saw lying on the ground, shocked him to his core. Dead on the ground in this same room that he should have been alone in until the doctor came back, lay the three creatures he had killed. They weren’t supposed to be real, but somehow, here they were.
Mikajia wanted to ask the doctor what was going on, but he knew better. The man would say nothing, like usual. The very pleased doctor would hand Mikajia his payment, and he would leave the shop. Now questioning everything he thought he knew about the world.
