The Awakened

Ladies and gentlemen, our hero.

Chase Sigismund is falling apart. Chronic insomnia will do that to you. But is his life spiraling out of control because of a simple sleep disorder? Or did reality just become much worse than his nightmares?

What if nothing were coincidence? What if every happy or horrible event that took place in your life was put there on purpose? What if it were all an experiment; a war game that has taken place on a hidden plane since the dawn of humanity? What if you woke to find yourself in the midst of it? What if everything you thought was true was, in fact, a lie?

A fantasy webcomic by Sarah Davis following long-suffering Butt Monkey Chase, a paranoid teenager who discovers that his nightmares have root in reality. An adventure/drama, with elements of comedy.

Contains violence, language and adult themes.

The comic can be found at its eponymous website. It can also be found at the artist's DA gallery, along with supporting material. The comic went on hiatus on July 19th 2009 but began updating again on January 9, 2011. The early parts of the strip have received a revamp as well as added material. More like the entire comic got a Reboot, seeing as the entire none of the later pages from the earlier rendition are available for so much as as a comparison.

Tropes used in The Awakened include:

Therapist: That doesn't sound very traumatic, Chase.
Chase: Well, when I asked to play with it, he said no in a really mean voice. Then he stabbed me in the face with a concealed switchblade, and after that repeatedly pummelled me with the dinosaur until I finally passed out from blood loss, at which point I think he might have raped me in the ass with its tail.
Therapist: Oh.

"Throw it! Throw it! Throw it! Throw it-Ah! I really thought you were gonna do it that time but you didn't."
