Dream Snatchers

[MystyrMystyry]

Quick! Follow me!

What - where to?

Down to the creek
Hurry - they're coming!

Who are?

The Dream Snatchers!

No - you're kiddin' right?

Not! They're on their way!

And what do they do?

They - what do you think?

Snatch dreams??

Yep - And they're after us!

I don't think you're too
tightly wrapped...

Remember when you were
ten and you wanted to-

Go to the bottom of the
ocean in a submarine?

Uh huh - well you never
did that - did you?

Things got in the way...

That's how they make it
look - like it wasn't your
fault! How about when you
were twelve and wanted to-

Go up into space in a shuttle...

Did you enjoy the trip?

Never happened...

And do you know why?

Dream Snatchers?

Correct! Now hide in that
hollow log and stay there

For how long?

Until they've gone...

When will that be?

I guess when there's no
more dreams to snatch

What do they look like?

Like big black dragons
with piercing silver eyes

So not hard to miss?

Sshhh!

What?

Here they come!

lol. that was a nice little romp and the irony of hiding till there are no more dreams doesn't sound any more promising than if they catch them in the first place. Great bedtime piece for a child...

Thankyou Delta - I'm running out of ideas for monsters - any hints?

[MorpheusSandman]

It's a nice little allegorical piece that could actually use some expanding. I often say these pieces would work well as a short story, but this is actually great material for a verse narrative, maybe something along the lines of The Faerie Queen but much shorter.

Intriguing to say the least.
As for new monsters? Sometimes human action can be alot more blood curdling.

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou MS - I may expand it in Pt 2

Thankyou Skia - Humans, you suggest? I'll definitely investigate that!

[Jerrybaldy]

I am with Skia. Humans are the way to go.

Sounds like the dream snatchers already got him, as his childhood dreams never came to pass...

Monsters... well, clowns and dolls creep me out in a big way...

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou JB - humans have been noted

Thankyou every - clowns could be cool - and dolls promising!



Voodoo dolls!
