A school with dark,
foreboding clouds overhead
Bows of five ships
slip beneath the cover of the clouds
The keels slide
through the sky like a vessel on a flat, calm surface of water
I Stand at a window
facing the street in front of the house where I was raised
A tumultuous storm,
ravaged by thunder and lightning, approaches swiftly
An unsettling sound
from the nearby bathroom grabs my attention
A hooded and cloaked figure
disappears into the shadows
Inside the bathroom a swirling portal is open- nothing has appeared from the other side
I throw an oval
shaped metal object into the bathroom, and turn around
A winged, horned
creature, with an arrow-shaped, barbed tail, is perched in a
corner
I crawl into a bed in
a bedroom in the basement, next to the stairs
A black canine guardian sits in a defensive position at the edge of the bed, facing the door
A voice beckons me, a
silhouette stares at me
The black canine guardian
leaps from the bed to investigate, to smell the apparition
The shadow vanishes, the
door closes, and my guardian is locked on the other side
Its voice beckons me
The silhouette waits
at the edge of the bed
An arm covered with
triangular spikes reaches for me
Help me!
Help me!
I plead
I wake at 2 am with
open eyes
