Julesia removes some acantha leaf from in her fine wool jacket.

A sickly orange glow suffuses the room, and a mirror appears before you. You struggle to focus on the image before you, and lean forward to see more clearly.
>
Julesia drops some acantha leaf.
>
You cringe in horror as you see a reflection of yourself wizened and ravaged by time, your face half-eaten by an infection that appears to have started near the corner of your mouth. Repulsed and nauseated, you dig your nails into your eyes and face, scratching yourself!

Something suddenly begins rattling around in your mouth. As you search with your tongue, you realize a tooth has fallen out. As you stop to fish out the errant tooth, your fingers push another tooth loose, and it too falls out and drops to the ground.
>
After a moment, your mouth is full of your loose teeth. You only have a few remaining that are still rooted. Horrified by this development, you then find that your fingernails are splintering, chipping away, and finally falling out. Then your bones begin to feel weak, cracking under your weight...

>
Your surroundings suddenly become much calmer and serene. Just then, you are surprised to hear the voice of your own mother behind you, bringing back old feelings of happiness and belonging.
>
As you turn to greet your mother, you are gripped with a strange dread: She has no eye sockets, only smooth skin where the eyes should be! In your vulnerable dream-like state, you scream at the sight of her disfigurement, and as you do, she screams back at you in rage, revealing rows of long sharp teeth! She begins rending you with savage metallic claws.

Warding failed!
You shiver as a cold wind suddenly blows through the area. It was probably nothing.

A group of blisters you hadn't noticed before on your arm demands attention. They are red and swollen, and you think you just saw one of them throb a bit. Scratching them vigorously provides some relief, as does peeling away a bit of dead skin around the edges. You can't help but try to pick at one piece of skin that seems stubborn...
>
As you accidentally rip the dead skin away, the blisters suddenly burst and spew forth a mass of frenzied crawling insects! They desperately try to re-enter their breached nest -- your own body -- by burrowing into openings in your ears and nostrils. As you scream, they also crawl down your throat!

Warding failed!
You shiver as a cold wind suddenly blows through the area. It was probably nothing.
>
Your vision darkens, and as you look about you, you realize that the end of the world has come. The sky above you turns sickening shades of green and black. The moons begin to crumble and break apart, and one by one the stars flash and wink out. Nature itself is dissolving into nothingness.
>
All the works of civilization have come to ruin. As pure Chaos swallows up the very nature of existence, you sense the terrified screams of millions in the distance, but feel utterly alone. The despair is crushing your sanity.

Warding failed!

>
A flexuous dull tan abyran'a slithers into the area.
>
As you turn around, you find yourself in your own home. What an excellent time to relax and forget the weariness of the day. You round the corner into the sitting room, sensing that there is someone already occupying your favorite chair.
>
You are facing a vaguely humanoid-shaped dark form, devoid of features. As it slowly rises from the chair, a perfect silence overcomes the room and pulls at your eardrums. Feeling pure malevolence from the creature, you turn to run away, but feel a dampening heaviness on your limbs, as though you were running under water! The creature comes closer...

Warding failed!
You shiver as a cold wind suddenly blows through the area. It was probably nothing.
>
Calm and relaxed, you find yourself lying on your back, hands peacefully folded on your chest. A group of sad-faced people gather around you, and as you wonder why they look down at you so, their figures slowly recede from you. You are being lowered into the ground, and dirt is being shoveled on top of you. You begin to amusedly protest that you aren't dead, but find that you can't move, or even speak.
>
>
As your vision is obscured by more soil, the last thing you can see is a woman in the crowd turning away and quietly sobbing. Now panicked, you struggle to free yourself of the invisible restraints as the weight on your body increases and your breath is cut off. You are being buried alive!

Your mind wanders for a bit, and you find yourself driving a horse-drawn cart along a high ridge. The cart is loaded with mushrooms, and you feel anxious about the possibility of any of them falling out.

Something suddenly makes your team of horses bolt! With no regard for where they are running, they plummet over the cliff, taking you with them! Uselessly gripping the reins, you tumble through the air down into a gorge that seems thousands of feet tall...

Here is "Just One More", which reminds me of that Monty Python skit where John Cleese convinces a very fat man to accept a "wafer thin mint."

Holding you in her gaze, Julesia utters a foul curse upon you.

A grand sight emerges before you. A glorious banquet appears, such as you have never seen before! Helping yourself to dainties and delicacies and delights of all kinds, you feel as close to contentment as you possibly could, except that there's just one more dish that you wanted to try. You feel a bit bloated.
>
The feasting never seems to end! You feel a bit self-concious for indulging yourself so freely, but that feeling is quickly replaced with horror as you look down at your impossibly distended and taut belly. You must weigh thousands of pounds. A creaking and rumbling sound accompanies a new pain as your skin spontaneously breaks and cracks to release the pressure your great gluttony has caused. You are splitting at the seams!
>
Your innards rumble and churn...
The skin on your enormous belly cracks and erupts with disgusting green sludge!
... 51 points of damage!

No matter where you run, your escape from the house is blocked by a wall of flame. As the fire begins to sear your flesh, you notice through a window a group of your friends standing by a flowerbed, all silently watching and mourning your imminent death.

And, finally, here is "Midnight Swim":

Julesia traces a sign that contorts in the air while she forcefully incants a dark invocation...

Warding failed!
You shiver as a cold wind suddenly blows through the area. It was probably nothing.

You lift your eyes upon a golden sunset and an endless strand of beach. Your best friend accompanies you on a peaceful stroll as the tide laps gently at your feet. The darkening water seems so cool and inviting. "Don't go into the water," your friend warns, but you heedlessly wade out to about knee height, reveling your toes in the ocean's silky mud bottom.
>
Suddenly, a roaring wave is upon you and you fall backwards! Struggling to right yourself, you feel yourself being held down by invisible hands under several feet of salty water. You manage to briefly burst above the surface now and again, but the glowering face of Lornon in a sudden night sky weakens you. "I told you," says your friend's weakened voice, but all you see on the shore is a wide-eyed lifeless corpse. You are drowning.

Strathspey outdid himself. I love how the nightmares play on basic human fears. Serious kudos to him.

[AnticorRifling]

I started on the last page and read backwards as I did I was thinking man they really need a "but it's just one mint" nightmare. Glad that's in there, very awesome.

[Archigeek]

Excellent.

Your vision starts to blur and nausea sets in.

As you come to, you see a hairy, eyeless, spider-like being approaching. A chill settles upon you as you realize it is a hungry arashan. Suddenly, it lunges at you!

[drigore]

A bit wordy, but this is mine.

An ominous black haze edges your vision. As you struggle to focus, your blurred perception fills you with a deep sense of wrongness and dread in your surroundings. The icy tendrils of fear clench at your stomach as your gaze falls upon the summoning circle that stands before you. As your eyes follow the elliptical curves a chill grips your spine when you notice that a footprint -- your footprint -- has broken the ring, rendering the circle of protection useless and destroyed.
>
Blinding light sears your sight as that which you have called from the other plane arises in the center of the ring! The cold hand of fright seals your throat as the mocking, maniacal laughter of that which you have summoned fills the air around you. The echoing peals of twisted and malign intent stir in your ears even as the crackling sizzle of flame rises on the air. Soon, your dread is replaced by the searing heat of a conflagrant, disfigured form. Within seconds, your body is alight with burns from its purposeful attack.
