Fictional Romance

You know that feeling of plunging?

Deep deep deep

Except not into water but into your brain?


For me it goes like this:

I go to bed and can't sleep

So I start imagining.


I build a whole world in my wakefulness

and fill it with a fictional romance

Butterflies in my stomach and fire in my nethers.


Then I'll notice that narrative slip

into chaos and quirkiness

and that's when it comes to feed.


K...

they say

they say that you’re more spiritually open when you’re in a state between sleep and wakefulness. they say that if you are careless enough, if you’re in a place that allows.. other things, then you just _might_ be visited by someone you didn’t invite.

My Dream

Whoa. That was weird. I had a dream just now that I was riding down the highway in the backseat of our car. Charlie was asleep in the passenger seat. She had my binoculars clutched in her arms. I tried to wake her up, but she just kept sleeping and holding onto the binoculars.

Dreaming of the Moonlit Forest

I run frantically through the Moonlit Forest, branches snapping violently at my arms. I hear birds flapping their wings and smell the lingering presence of smoke. The night keeps getting darker and darker until I look up and realize: the stars are going missing. They blur across the sky and then... gone. All gone. Gone are the leaves on the trees and the birds in the sky and everything is a blur u...

Dream-Eating Demon

I only see him in the rare moments between sleep and wakefulness. We have created a symbiotic bond in those sparse meetings. He feeds on dreams, and I am willing to give mine up. Though, I’m not sure how my nightmares must taste to him. All I know is that before, I was tormented each night by nightmares. And then one day, he was in my nightmare and ate the dream, leaving behind a nothingness. A no...

Nisphon

The **Nightsiphon** is a shadowy, ethereal beast that lurks in the twilight between the waking world and the realm of dreams. Its form is ever-shifting, appearing as a swirling mass of darkness and mist, with fleeting glimpses of eyes that glow faintly like distant stars. The Nightsiphon has a serpentine body that stretches into infinity, coiling and uncoiling as it moves silently through the nigh...

Always Run

_Not Again_


_Running. Panting. Screaming. Laughter. I need to escape. I need to run faster! I can feel IT’s breath hanging on my heels. If only i can find a way to slip around a corner or melt into the shadows and let IT slip by. An other worldly raspy, cackle splits my awareness like an axe through dry wood. IT is toying with me! I can’t think. I can’t escape. Then it happens; as if IT could sen...
