I know not the reason for my childish fantasies these last few days but it is with the swiftest of steps that I flee from the doorway of the Twilight abode to my bed in the dark! Verily!! When the darkness takes over the lands and our sleep eyes start to blur do our minds play tricks on us? Or do the creatures that hide from the light within the closet by day really sneak beneath our bed skirts and wait for us in darkness of night?

Lurking in silence for our feet to appear. Waiting patiently for their next meal. Or do they wait to play tricks on us, to terrify us - to to trip us as we walk to bed? It is then that one must not walk but run and jump because for no Godly reason the floor is suddenly made of lava - and if you do not take a running leap into bed and avoid the bedroom floor as best as you can you will sink within the burning liquid - skin falling away in ashes as you become shorter and shorter - arms waving frantically in agony until you are no more.

Or perhaps the sharks and tentacles, immune to this phenomenon and lurking within the dark liquid are just wiggling and circling about waiting to get you - waiting to eat you - waiting to rip you to pieces in a frightening frenzy. One way or other, it is certain you will not be sleeping tonight!

Or maybe this is just another day in the life of an over active mind and excited person that had a wonderfully enjoyable day of Fall Festivas!
