Doctor Thoston cleaned the sliver needle as he looked down upon his bound patient, twitching and jerking in the throws of some terrible dream. “Fear not, I will not let you suffer for long.” With that he inserted the needle into the patient’s temple and they immediately quieted. With a sharp twist, the Doctor withdrew the needled, pulling with it a twisting worm made of a shadowy grey substance and placed it into a crystal box where it writhed and twisted until the lid was sealed.
The Doctor stroked his patient’s forehead, wiping away the drop of blood. “Rest well, I have freed you of your nightmare.”
Ground Nightmare
This glossy black material is made of round grains the size of pinheads, seen out of the corner of the eye they seem to be moving on tine legs like spiders. By touch, they are smooth and break into a charcoal grey powder is any pressure is applied, the dust is so fine that it quickly dissipates. It can be eaten, dissolved in liquid and drunk, inhaled or smoked.
