It was the deep blue ocean. He looked in such a brilliant blue; but at the same time dark, the blue that could be confused with the human subconscious, the blue of madness.
An ocean without any end or visible surface, there he was floating in eternity, but he was not alone.
Something was with him at that moment, swimming in that immense and endless blue sea. Robert couldn't see where they were; but he heard them move in that great blue ocean.
He also heard a terrible roar sounding near him. Those creatures moved faster, they were huge and possessed of a greater evil than he could think of.
Totally terrified he tried to go to the surface; but, while swimming, he noticed two things. The first was that there was no surface, the second was that it moved slowly. He couldn't go faster in the swim; but that creature that chased him was agile. Because that was his element, his home.
Still, with everything against him, he tried to escape. During the flight, he remembered his wife yelling at him:
"They are close to us!" but it was not a memory, he had heard it in that deep blue ocean "Robert, stop!" Yelled his wife.
"I can save you both!" shouted Robert, the monster was approaching him, swimming fast "We will be fine!"
"If he is a boy his name will be Tomas and if he is a girl Joanna" said his dead wife in that memory.
“We are losing them! Please hold on! " Robert begged his dying wife, while they fled, while he fled from the Nazis.
He was not in the ocean at the time but in his father's car, racing at high speed with the Gestapo behind them in pursuit.
"We can make it!" screamed
"I'm cold," his wife replied, the blood escaping from his wounds
"We're putting them aside! I can save you both!" continued shouting with joy, Robert
"Robert ... I love you" his beloved wife said goodbye before losing consciousness and dying shortly after.
"I can save you both!" repeated in the dream Robert
he was in the ocean again; but it was not the ocean but his father's vineyard in Austria. His wife was there, dead and wide-eyed looking at him; but his eyes were not blue, like those of his beloved, but yellow. She looked at him with hatred, answering:
"You couldn't save us Robert, no matter how fast you run away, you can never save us. You didn't even cry for us until you sailed for North America, you fucking selfish bastard!" his wife roared in a monstrous voice.
His father's vineyards were now blue. The whole earth was blue, the very ground seemed to disappear around him. The trees and vineyards were consumed by a very powerful dark blue.
His late wife began to laugh, searching for something under her skirt, her skin was also blue.
"Look at our offspring and tell him, looking into his eyes, if you could save him" croaked that vision "look!"
Robert saw it and started screaming. His son was a fetus with reptilian skin, whose scales were brown, his mouth had very sharp fangs and his appearance was that of a reptilian being before a human.
The creature began to screech in a very thick voice, the car was now at the bottom of the blue ocean.
The little boy opened his eyes, showing his cat-like pupils on a sickly yellow.
Robert heard the sound of baby crying and his wife's screams combined with laughter followed by cries from those creatures.
Now he wasn't in the car. He was back in that endless blue ocean, with a large creature with a long head staring at him with yellow eyes with slit pupils like a cat. He was shooting her a murderous look, there was so much hatred in those eyes. Robert, totally frightened by such a sight, began to scream in fear, not fear of dying but of losing something more valuable than life: sanity.
He woke up screaming on a deserted beach. Companion was next to him. He had dragged it, as best he could, swimming to the nearest beach.
Robert was terrified; but when he saw Companion, he recovered completely. Sweating cold and wet, from head to toe, he embraced his faithful friend saying:
"Thank you my friend, I owe you more than you think, I owe you my life ... and perhaps my sanity"
The dog barked and licked his face. Robert began to cry, at first; but after a few minutes his crying changed to laughter, Robert laughed as if he were crazy as the sun rose over the horizon of that great blue ocean.
