To Sleep Perchance to Dream

Verdant leaves speckled with red roses. Lady bugs. Caterpillars. Snakes. Rattlers...

Wake up, Amanda!

White pillowed clouds. Blue sky. Flying. Falling, falling...

Amanda, wake up!

Humming birds flittering. Dogs barking. Horses galloping. Monsters drooling...

Wake now, Amanda!

Sprinkling droplets pattering. Thunder. Lightning. Downpour. Flood. Drowning...

Amanda, now! Wake up

Sunset. Darkness. Blackness. Smothering...

Amanda! Amanda!

Be sure to visit Galen at G-Man, Mr. Know It All, if you have written a Friday Flash 55 story that you would like to share. Have a cool weekend. Be lighthearted. Donnetta
