CCC024: For To Keep

Posted on March 6, 2025 by crispina kemp

I woke again into the day
As a repetitious dream fell away
Of the woodland bare
The reverberating sounds
Of footsteps near
I’m followed by another
Yet as I look around
There is no one there

I’m not a fool ā€“ by day
But at night, asleep
The villains creep
My daytime senses for to keep

    I love dreaming. Sometimes it feels almost as if I do more living in my dreams, than I do in real life. Keep those creepy villains at bay or use them as fodder for yet another glorious adventure!

    This is really creepy and a wide story put in such a short text. Excellent!

    Nicely illustrated to show how things are always scarier at night šŸ™‚
