In the semi-darkness, the pebbles looked like coffee beans.

Disassociation

In the semi-darkness, the pebbles feel like coffee beans. The trees like overgrown magical broccoli. The owls made of white chocolate. The moon a forbidden fruit I am not yet allowed to eat. There are strange occurrences in the night. Hallucinations that upend reality. Our minds trying to keep a tight hold on sanity. When something makes you nervous, imagine a world where it would be unassuming. If you're afraid of what comes after sundown, then cast your thoughts to the parts of life you love.
