a jagged edge, it’s blurring, it’s dark and so cold
tears are dropping across her face, a hand waves
a blunt object appears, it’s unearthing but what?
suddenly something shatters and scatters across the room
she’s moaning, she’s scared, hardly surprising
the hand appears again
what is it doing?
but it’s gone
wake up
BANG

Since it is waving, one can wave back, but hopefully, the BANG was just from the bedroom door! 🤪😅

Now that’s a countdown that kept me on the edge of my seat. I hope that Bang was simply her jolting out of her dream.
Do drop by mine.
Cheers,

Some nightmares can seem so real! Have you ever tried to wake up, thought you did, but really didn’t! That’s scary too.
