While the world sleeps, a battle rages within my mind.
My thoughts swarm like an unsettled beehive, their echoes intertwining, twisting, and turning, a tempest brewing behind my eyes.
I yearn for rest, yet like a relentless river of reminiscence, the past freely flows.
Amid the silence of the night, a symphony forms. A sorrowful tune orchestrated by the echoes of forgotten phantoms. Within this melancholic melody, my racing heart and breath form a frantic percussion.
Hours slip away. Marked only by the sunrise, its unwelcome rays slipping silently into the room.
I writhe and struggle, a frenzied spirit entangled within the sheets.
Sleep remains elusive, and I, shackled by persistent terrors . . . Remain Haunted.

Night Terror
Content Warning: Grief, Death, A Pandemic, and Mental Illness The sadness she felt since the loss of her sister cut so deep that no breath would come from her aching lungs. The tears of grief that used to flow so freely would no longer come. Her eyes had become the window to her soul, a barren desert, a land without relief. She turned her aching eyes to the screen in front of her. The ancient newscaster’s words seared into her mind. “we currently know the virus as ‘Night terror’ is infecting the citizens of Uz. This virus is incredibly dangerous and appears to be spreading rapidly. While it is unknown how this virus spreads, we urge citizens to proceed with caution. Early symptoms include insomnia, hyperactivity, and extreme hunger. As the virus progresses, the infected individuals hallucinate. These hallucinations often include strange creatures or animals and the individuals may become violent if approached during an episode. We urge family and friends to contact authorities and medical personnel if they notice someone exhibiting these symptoms. There is currently no known cure.”

Not Just For Clean Up: A History Of The MCU's Department of Damage Control
Initially an organisation that seemed to exist to help the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Phase Four onwards, the Department of Damage Control has shifted into a more antagonistic role. Most recently seen in the Wonder Man series, the current incarnation of Damage Control seems to target superpowered individuals, regardless of whether that person poses an active or intentional threat.
