The fog lessens, a muted sunrise breaching the horizon. Did you swim here? You have no memory of this place. Fifty feet out, fog surrounds: your island in the sea an island of clarity in the eery mist. In the waves, Maneaters circle, swim, fins cutting through the chop. Can't go back the way you came.
You clamber up the jagged rocks, reaching your hand over the edge for help. Inky fingers haul you onto the stone. The wraith pulls away and ice cold fear grips you as realization dawns: your shadow has broken free of your body.
It is then that you discover that the two of you — the human, the shade — are not alone. As if taken by wind, your shadow glides to the center of the rock — past the scattered bones — past tables of industrial iron and reclaimed wood, laden with extravagant brunch: eggs dripping in pale yellow sauces, waffles stacked thirteen-high, mountains of berries and melon and pineapple, pitchers of orange-mango-peach and pineapple-pear-lychee juices encircle a tower of bubbling champagne flutes, and can you believe you've been eating limes!?
Your growling stomach can only distract you from the swirling terror for so long: the absconding shadows concentrate, giving form to a dark terror.
A massive dragon, with four snapping heads forms from shade and fog. It is hardly corporeal, wreathed in its own evil smoke. At its core glows a blue heart. One mouth opens to loose a bone-chilling screech, revealing pointed fangs the size of spears.
You're not entirely certain that cinnamon swirl pancakes are worth crossing paths with the demon, but you're positive you don't have a choice.
-----This isn't a feast, this is a real brunch.
