nicholas, nyx or nyxie to his friends and family, disappeared last night in his home...
I struggled to sit up. Did I hear something? I didn't know. I didn't hear it with my ears, I heard it like you hear a song that's playing in your head or a sentence that you're trying to make sense of.

My shadow looked back at me from the wall, and I sniffed and went back to sleep. I woke up the next morning with the corpse of a dream in my head, and the more I struggled to preserve it the more it rotted away.

I remembered fungi. Circles of fungi, fairy rings where the fair folk danced.
