I know.
It’s tempting.
That small, dull, charcoal-dark sphere,
contained
within that slim glass vial —
a piece
of shadow
trapped and capped.
So curious…
So seemingly
harmless.
Please.
Trust me.
I beg you.
Don’t open the vial.
You misunderstand —
I am not the threat.
It is.
Released,
it will change —
flatten…thin…spread…
and seep into your skin…
Change you.
Unmake you.
Into something
unrecognizable.
Un-human.
Inhuman.
Huge and heartless
with cruelty tucked
in your laughter
and a grin
full of hungry
teeth.
Please.
Please…
Just don’t…
For you sake…
For mine…
For ours…
…
…
…
You never
would
listen
to me…

So beautiful <3
Thank you 🙂 The dream continued… I may follow up next week 😉
Waiting for that 🙂
before it has begun, Pandora stiffened a little, then whispered
– relax, it’s just a jar: invisible glass and… this…
oh, we all follow-thrught
Yes! This dream made me think of Pandora’s Box, too! And we all know how well that went 😉 (Of course, Hope did remain in the box and was eventually released 🙂 )
