Far From Oz - Silhouettes, #1

It smothers me, like a thick wool blanket wrapping tightly around me. It's always the same. I can feel the wetness on my skin. Beads of sweat trickle down my cheeks, soaking my gown and plastering my hair to my neck. The pounding of my heart vibrates through my entire body, and the weight on my chest quickens my breath. Every night, it is the same. The Darkness threatens to consume me.
