Always 8:24 AM, I awake with a cold sweat. It started two months ago, and no matter when I go to sleep, I wake up at the exact same time; 8:24 AM.

And right before I wake up in a cold sweat, I have the same dream... The same nightmare.

Darkness descended with the fall of night. I looked out and saw the electric dark blue of water receding into that darkness. 

And then came the Hum.
