Siren's Port, it's Dale Cooper. We've spoken once before, albeit by accident. You'll have to be patient with me; the technology around here is a little ahead of my time.
Something is troubling me and I thought perhaps to take a moment to discuss it with all of you. You see, technology isn't the only thing that's different between this world and mine. While there are a great many mysteries in my world, strange and supernatural, the Darkness is a phenomenon I have only observed in this city. And on the recommendation of my doctors and others I've spoken with, I've yet to explore the Darkness personally because I am not in peak physical condition... yet.
And so it is with an admission of ignorance that I come to you today for answers. I trust that many of you have the expertise to decipher a little puzzle I've been facing.
On Monday, June 4th, at approximately 3:30 a.m., I awoke from a dream. In that dream, I had been walking, shortly after high noon, near the baseball diamond where I first appeared. I noticed that, as the sun inched toward the west for its descent, the shadows began to grow. But these shadows were no ordinary shadows. Seeping from them was a decay... Where a shadow fell over a pipe, it rusted - and over sidewalks, cement cracked and turned to dust. It was a decay like I've only seen at night, peering out from my window. But in the dream, it was everywhere, in every shadow, even with the sun shining overhead.
The following night, I had the same dream, only I began to run. I ran as far as my legs could take me, but no matter where I went, the shadows were full of death. In the long shade of the company towers, I could see the grass dry out, and the flowers shriveled, and the brick walls crumbled.
On Wednesday the 6th, I had the same dream again, but there was more. I gave up on running and stopped at a coffee stand. I ordered a coffee - black, as always - but I received a pale liquid... white, but not milky. And when I tasted it, it was sweet. A sickly sweet flavor. I spit out the drink, but instead of falling to the ground, the drops floated into the air. I heard a man's laughter and suspected I was the target of a practical joke, but when I looked around, I failed to find the source. I began to walk again, searching, but became more and more disoriented. The colors of the world around me began to invert, so that I couldn't tell if it was night or day, whether I walked through sunlight or shade. Out of the corner of my eye, I would catch flashes of something - an electric blue plasma, something amorphous... But I never did catch up with it.
This dream has been recurring every night since, but I'm no closer to understanding its meaning. I wonder if anyone has seen anything similar to what I've described, in dreams or in reality? I would very much like to hear your thoughts on it.
