At home, wondering. Where could my little dog be? A noise like fire and static crackles upon our ears but it is only the phone, turned on, and someone ominous is listening. Daddy glances bemusedly at the caller number and goes upstairs. Whispering, we are left alone. Against my wishes Y lounges on the deck with his telescope, playing at star hunter but it's all in vain. Because tonight the sky is empty for all the stars have fallen and I desperately call for him to please, come inside where it's safe! He comes with a sigh but I see my little dog's large eyes sparkle in the bushes and I just have to find her. A dark shape running, a tinkle, and a Dementor appears with a white face and everything slows down and I trip and my dying scream is silenced as my soul is broken into a thousand pieces. Where is your heart? My first nightmare in years.

Dear WEndy, what a chilling but beautiful short.....I was pulled in and I experienced this right along side you. Wow. And you came to visit ME? Thank you, and where are you from? Anita
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely words, Anita! This was one of my worst nightmares, but instead of dwelling on it, I turned it into a story. I`m afraid I can`t disclose where I specifically reside, but I do live in the USA. :)

Oh my stars! This sounds like an ultra-sensory nightmare... the kind that seem so real that it wakes you with a racing heart-beat. I hope you had a plushie or doll nearby to hug. xo
ReplyDeleteP.S. "my little dog's large eyes sparkle in the bushes" This part sounded so cute.
It was, it was. Thank goodness I had my little webkinz snow-bear to snuggle with. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading, dear one!
My heart was racing like a hummingbird; nightmares can be o haunting, can't they?

I haven't dreamt at all lately; I'd love to have a nightmare these days :(

It's the worst when you know you had a really good dream and you can't remember it, nightmare or not. I think I'd rather have a bad dream than no dreams.
ReplyDeleteThank you! xxx
