Scaled stranger watches where dreams dissolve into dread.

Something ancient and wrong has put on a jacket and come indoors, looming over the sleeper with the patient stillness of a tide. The clouds above are the color of old paper, heavy with a meaning that language has only half-captured in the text above. It is the kind of image that arrives before sleep, not after.

That flat, dead fish-eye looming over the sleeper is properly unsettling -- and 'the clouds we made of meat' is a hell of a caption. The engraving texture makes it feel like a plate torn out of some cursed bedtime story. Easily my favorite of the batch.
