Living Nightmare
It all began with what seemed a simple nightmare but it kept recurring and soon it became too terrifying to ignore, as much as Micheal (Richard Alfieri) tries to push ft to one side, it will not leave him...the more he dreams the more the fear grows and the more his personality changes. The dream takes over his world, completely making him become blind to what is a dream and what is reality.
