I’m sleeping
Heavy creaking footsteps walk down our hall
Into our bedroom
Auditory echo of dysnchronous high amplitude waves [maybe?]
Rough hands grab my legs
Ripped out of bed
Dragged out of the tissue paper of my reality
Into dark expanse, glistening eyes turn to me

Voice  [speaks internally]:

I will eat you, one day at a time. Moment by moment I devour you

Struggle
Open my eyes
Articulating forms become dresser
Plant
Clothes on the floor

“Stop”
“You’re dreaming. It’s nothing. Go back to sleep”.

I wake up tired the next day.
