Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 366, Insomnia

Different things kept people awake at night.

Ryan would awaken from dreams that he’d died in the Permian and been buried there, millions of years ago in the Earth’s past.

For Stephen, it was thoughts of what might have happened in the cage room if the Special Forces team hadn’t blown the door off its hinges and dragged him out.

Nick was tormented by the death of an innocent man created for the sole purpose of killing him, identical to him in body, but with a mind only partially-formed.

Night time was always when the demons came out to play.

Meep! But thankfully in this you've saved Ryan, Stephen and Nick, and they have each other and their friends to help them through!

[fredbassett]

Couldn't resist a triple fix-it!

Very nicely done and very true. The demons do enjoy the darkness, don't they.

[fredbassett]

They certainly do.

Erk! Eeek! Spooky. But yay for that three-way fixit!

[fredbassett]

I don't do death fic!

[goldarrow]

Oooooh. I just had a little wash of goosebumps.

Love this.
I heard once that 4AM is the Time of the Wolf, when your nightmares take form.
Nice one.

A triple fix-it in 100 words! Nice one!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

Clearly what they need to do is all sleep in the same bed so they can huggle when necessary.

[fredbassett]

Good plan.

Meep! They're only nightmares, right?

Great 3 x fix-it.

[fredbassett]

Yep, only nightmares!

[fififolle]

They've got PTSD!! Someone help them!

[fredbassett]

They do need help.

What a good thing, though, that they all survived to fight another day.

[fredbassett]

Couldn't resist a fix it.
