    About this ebook

    What horrors await you during the night,
    Which of your fears will come to light?
    When your subconscious merges your reality with dreams,
    Is it a sign of too much stress, or what is yet to be?

    The human psyche is one of our last frontiers; portents, dreams, and visions some say are a look into our possible future, while others it is a way for our subconscious to deal with the stressors of our day. What so you believe?

    This collection of two poems and a short story is a real event from my past, when a young girl's responsibilities may have been too much, or was it a future I prevented when I heeded my dream's warning?

    I'll leave it for you to decide.

      The sun is in its place, and in this place the sun is like no other I’ve ever seen. Yesterday, when they brought a man here, when he first felt the sun’s heat, he’d swooned; they had to carry and drag him into the cage. He hasn’t woken yet, I’m told
