What the...? (Patreon)

 The man takes a deep breath all of a sudden, opens his eyes and his whole body tenses, then his muscles limp but  he starts to breath while he keeps his eyes open, eyes that languidly lay over Elana.

“Aho? Is that you, my love? I had a terrible nightmare ...” the man says weakly. “You can't imagine how horrible it was, Aho ... And it's been so long ... Longer than my life ... Much more ... I ... also did horrible things, Aho ...” the man reaches out and caresses Elana's cheek.

“Isn't it the best feeling in the world when you wake up from the most horrible nightmare and find that everything has been a dream ...? That nothing of that happened?”   

“What the...?” says Elana puzzled. “I have no idea ....” answers the Spirit.
