Opening – November 2020
Notes: Alia’s nightmare is based on one I had myself a few months after my own father moved out of my childhood home -the only detail that I changed being that I have a father and my realization that he didn’t live with us anymore. Like Alia, it was also my first time having a false awakening within a dream, something which up until then I had assumed was nothing more than a cheesy film trope, who knew? Likewise, it had been my intention to retrieve batteries so I could masturbate myself back to sleep. Though I’m no stranger to sleep apnea, this dream is what I consider to be the scariest nightmare I’ve ever had, and it’s wild to me that I can still recall it with such detail.
I could ramble on further; I put so much thought into the details of these opening pages so that I could set the tone just right, but I’ll just leave it at saying how happy I am with how the final product came out. I’ve prepped a pretty steep backlog because I tend to get rather meticulous about those kind of things, so it won’t be long until the next update.
