Another excerpt, this one a complete work of fiction, but, something that some characters may have been exposed to, similar to "The Message"-

[hider=The Truth is Out There]
	“Ok, so, this blog post is my attempt at putting a lot of stuff, together. I’ve been hunting around online, doing research, and hopefully, I’ve weeded out the nonsense and anything outdated regarding the weird stuff going on. If you’re a regular to this Blog, you know what I’m talking about.

[b]The Nightmare Zone[/b]
	This is the foggy/misty atmosphere that always seem to present when the ‘incidents’ occur. The popular opinion seems to be that these ‘Nightmare Zones’ are where The Real World and the World of Nightmares have inexplicably blended, or overlapped.
	How does one know when fog is just fog? You can’t! Or, at least, I haven’t found anything solid. But, my research suggests some common elements: It tends to be abnormally thick/heavy, and unusually localized. It can be pinned down, on maps, but only with patience- wherever an encounter has occurred, and a Nightmare(will elaborate on this later) wasn’t killed, the Nightmare Zone is bound to manifest in that location, again, eventually. Especially of someone or something got hurt, or killed. Some of the witness testimonies I found suggests that it can get bigger, with repeat manifestations!
	Power is spotty at best, inside the Nightmare Zone. I can’t find any reliable suggestions as to why.
	I haven’t found any real pattern to when and where the Nightmare Zone manifests; some sites were previously rumored to be cursed, or haunted, or something, otherwise it seems… Random. I can say for certain it’s always at night, but, otherwise I don’t have near enough data to suggest any other pattern- we have no way to see it coming until it already has!

[b]Nightmares[/b]
	The monsters that seem to manifest in these areas, I’m going to referred to simply as “Nightmares”. From what I’ve been able to sort out, there’s no pattern to these things! I was surprised by the information that actually bore weight, versus the stories that were just… Made up for Likes, or something! In any case, I could find no consistency, unless inconsistency somehow counts? ‘Consistently inconsistent’, LOL. Anyway, even with sorting out the obvious frauds, descriptions and behaviors are all over the place; some are bizarre and small, even cute, but eventually turning numerous and nasty. Some are human sized or larger, and behave more like predators, stalking about. Others, still, seem completely alien, and are unpredictable, just running all over the place, either just appearing, giving people the creeps, seemingly exploring, or just killing whatever they happen upon! Nightmares aren’t the only problem, though, I found.
	I stumbled upon this stuff by accident, and at first ws ruling these stories out. Eventually, though, as I was discovering connection to the Nightmare Zone, I went back to look over these, more closely. It turns out, even if some kind of Nightmare/s doesn’t show up, the Nightmare Zone has a way of affecting peoples’ minds! It can seep in, “clouding” their judgment, even overwhelming them with fear, to the point where they don’t act rationally at all! Some have even lost their minds entirely, and at that point, they’ve become Nightmares- stop them at all costs, because you can’t save them. Worse, still, these people don’t fade away with the Nightmare Zone, making them much more dangerous. They aren’t restricted to the boundaries of their Zone, but, they tend to stay close to it, and seem to interact with it like Nightmares, stalking about, seemingly to spread fear, as though that’s how they expand their boundaries, and increase potential victims.
	Oh, one more thing: For some reason, nobody has ever been able to collect a specimen, or even produce a body, even in more reliable reports. I think these things vaporize, or melt, or something, outside the Nightmare Zone.

[b]Official Responses[/b]
This one was probably the hardest to work through, just for the fact that so many civilian outfits were already out there before this seemed to start. As I did my research, it got easier to pick out the one’s who are seriously on to something- they’re still out there doing their thing (“Hey, there, scary demons. It’s me; ya boy.”), but the tone has… Shifted. There was a transition, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of footage, and I can’t quite pin down when it happened, but something is different, now. They’ve gotten more serious, and based on my own research (confirmation bias, perhaps), they’re coming to similar conclusions. Y’all out there with the tin-foil hats might be quick to assume that dismissal has ramped up, in order to cover something up, but no! I’ve been closely following government information outlets, as well, digging where I can to try and see what they aren’t saying, but I can’t find anything solid. I’ve found a wealth of information, here and there, but I can’t for the life of me pin down which department it’s coming from- I ruled out the FBI, right away, but, nearly every larger government organization is telling the same basic stories. Keep in mind, these are the same organizations that easily allow suspected terrorists and black listed passengers onto planes simply for the fact that it takes so long for every concerned outfit to connect and confirm. If they’re all on the same page, it’s not because they’re talking to each other and coordinating- they’ve all noticed the same things, I think, and trying to present a sense of order and normality. ‘Nothing to see, here, citizens. Move along.’
	At the same time, as I’m digging deeper into this rabbit hole, I’m noticing, yes, some of the civilian groups only briefly had an upswing in activity, a darkening of tone, and than just went silent. Their channels and streams have been removed, entirely, with no message to their fans as to why. Some private investigators, as well, have stopped taking clients- even shut their doors, outright! Not many ‘psychics’ and ‘mediums’ have gone quiet, but enough for that to stand out, as well. Combined with stuff I’m finding that reads like government reports and documentation, minus any indication of department or organization, I would speculate that some kind of official, but discreet, response is taking place.
	Myself, and others, have noticed a message going around, all over the world, as well as all over cyber-space. I don’t know who’s responsible; not a soul has credibly stepped forward to take responsibility

	That’s all I’ve got, but, I’ll keep up the work, as long as I can.

	Stay safe, everybody, and if possible, avoid the Nightmare Zone.”
