I started falling. There was no protrusion to grasp onto but I still reached through the air as if a ledge would appear. The rapid rush of wind swirled in my ears. I expected my body to beat the ground but instead I landed in a large pool of water. Giant fish encircled me as I swam back up to the surface.  I saw thirteen giant devil catfish tread through the water around me. They revolved around my thrashing body four times before they turned facing me. The fish swam full speed at me and I found myself inside the stomach of one. I lit a match to see through the deep darkness and saw myself standing by the ribs of the fish. I was strange looking at another me.

The flame from my match engrossed the slimy innards in fire. A man rose from the blaze and ran after me I fell and appeared in chains. The blazing body fell upon me. filling me with terror and pain. I woke up.

I was gasping, sweaty from the fear of my dreams.
