Nightmare

...She runs with all her strength.

Through an empty wilderness. A wasteland, with no living thing in sight.

She runs through a charnel field of ****... Victoria gasps. She flings off the gas masks is wearing, and covers her pale face with her hands. "Oh... Oh, why...! How could such a thing...!" She has escaped from a mountain of corpses.

From that massive pile of unmoving bodies. Standing before her is Caleb, Evelyn and Pretorius. They are surrounded by creatures similar to Caleb and Evelyn. Evelyn is heavily pregnant.

"What...! What have I done?!" Unable to remain on her feet, Victoria crashes to her knees.

"You helped me create a race that will replace humanity as the dominant species. Thanks to you, I have created a new age of gods the monsters!" Pretorius says.

"You created me to be with Evelyn, remember, I am the Adam to her Eve." Caleb says.

Victoria wheezes and pants. She bolts upright in her bed, her hands clenching the swear-soaked sheets. "A dream..." Her heart is hammering, seeming to echo loudly in the silence. She presses tightly against her chest, and squeezes out a gasping statement. "That's right... I... I can never be forgiven..."
