Quietus

Something is wrong with Phaeton's brain and the warped way it perceives reality, but his dreams are clear and vivid. Day doesn't exist and a black void is the only thing he sees outside his windows, but this is just the way it's always been. Right?

This is a 4,200-word horror short story.
