Nightmare Inoculation

I was the new archivist at the city mental hospital. On my first day on the job, I was warned not to touch the ward at the end of the third floor. I secretly retrieved the information and found that a girl suffering from "hyperamnesia" was imprisoned in it. She remembers every second of her experience since birth, but insists that she still has "the memory of another person" in her mind. "That person has lived in a nightmare for seventy years." She licked her fangs and smiled at me, "Now, it's your turn." That night I started having serial nightmares, and every detail matched her description. What's even more terrifying is that all the nightmares are happening simultaneously in my reality—— ---
