Every night I crawl into  bed, curl up under the sheets with my current novel and begin the ritual of bedtime reading followed by slowly drifting off to  slumber land.  My current novel is Stephen King’s Needful Things.  This book has captured and kept my attention into the wee hours of the night.  What a wonderful storyteller.  I thank my husband for bringing him into my life.  However, as I sit and read my book I can’t help but wonder…Where does he come up with some of the gruesome and captivating nightmares  he puts into his books?  It’s a bit scary how his mind works!  But wonderful at the same time.  His talent is our gain! 

Last night, however I found myself waking at six o’clock in the morning , still trapped in a bone chilling nightmare.  I can’t quite remember what was haunting my dreams, but it left me feeling chilled and wide awake.  I should have written it down, but again it was six o’clock in the morning.

After finally falling asleep, nightmare forgotten, my son woke up with a nightmare of his own.  What are the chances of two nightmares in one night? 

 I began my day crusty and sleepy.  Aah sleep, when will it be unbroken?  Maybe tonite I will sleep a golden sleep.  Well, one can only dream!
