For now however, he needed to sleep and switches off the light to try to get some of what he most needed. Tomorrow he would have to evaluate the landscape and figure out how he could clear the place of the swarms. Strategic planning, equipment prep and then some recon deep behind enemy lines. Favourites of his.

All of a sudden everything is dark, and he takes a moment to establish his bearings. A moment to allow his mind to settle, and he realises that he’s having another dream, the darkness caused by a set of welding goggles covering his eyes. He seems to be working in his garage again and couldn’t remember when he’d fallen asleep. He was glad that this one was at least taking place somewhere safe. Although he wasn’t yet sure how safe it was inside his own head.
