the man's appearance is unacceptable one look and you realize the man is a tower of strength physically and mentally this is a man's man I know this so why does he terrify me it's because I see him daily were 'er I go he is there staring at me with black, sinister eyes this has been going on for weeks this stalking I should confront him and be done with it but no I can't, he is much too formidable even though he hardly moves the only sign of life is his burning, penetrating, black eyes I can feel them burning into mine what does he want? I take different routes to confuse him, but it never works he is always there hidden in the shadows watching, staring the pressure on me is becoming intolerable can't stand it, must do something I prepare myself with words instead of weapons for some reason I feel he'll respond to words best I don't know, but I'm gong to find out this is it this is the day to settle things I walk up to him he doesn't move an inch still staring I point my finger in his face he growls something steps into me I awoke drenched in sweat ~ Eggs and bacon, honeymoon style / What's honeymoon style? / Straight up and hard. ~ |

Hi Oklahoma Rose, and thank you very much for stopping by even though you found yourself inside "a horrible dream." Thanks, Marcia, for your high-fives, makes me feel good, and that is a good thing, is it not? Yes, it is, I'll answer my own question. ~ Money can't buy happiness, but broke can't buy anything. ~ |

Enjoyed this, Jerry. Whilst it was a nightmare, it is one I wouldn't have minded (after the fact, LOL) having, as it was a fascinating one. Owl |

Sometime words work best, sometimes they don’t not with nightmares, never. Thrilling write this. "The secret behind survival of mankind is kindness and love within our hearts" |
