HOW DO YOU GET TO SLEEP?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?  I'M COMING

WHERE AM I?

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

IN BED?  PLEASE, LET ME SLEEP . . .

BEWARE!  'CAUSE I'M YOUR NIGHTMARE




Dear Limh,
Now, the nightmares begin. The faces come first, their features indescript, pressed up against the walls of my room, through the wood like that odd face on Mars. I can see them moving beneath the walls, shifting towards me. An eye presses itself to an opening in the plaster , blinks, stares into my own. I turn away, incensed with fury and violation. I am afraid. I do not know who it is. I no longer know the lay of the land. I know no longer know the lay of the faces.

He approaches. I see the steel weapon in his hand. I feel one in my own. I look down . . .

I am holding a plastic picnic fork.
