DARK FANTASIES




Row as far as you can
and as fast as you can
to a place of dark fantasies
where nothing 
is what it seems.
A place where
anything is possible.
Take a chance.
The improbable might 
become the possible.

THE GAME

THE GAME
Come & play a game with me.
I’ll be fair as can be.
I will deal the card.
Do not think too hard.
The card is your task.
It might be your last.
Follow it to the letter.
This can’t get any better.
Pick a card now, please.
Get down on your knees.
Close your eyes very tight.
Go down without a fight.
Your chosen card tells you to laugh
As the saw slices you in–

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS -- CONCLUSION




I'm standing in a thick darkness.
Where I am
I don't know.
Maybe in a dream.
Or in a nightmare.
Ahead I see two scenes.
Two choices.

I can follow the sounds of the surf
and join the man swimming in the ocean.
An ocean filled with strong waves.
I can smell the salty air
and hear the pounding waves.
Or I can follow the path of flowers
and walk through the colorful archways.
The sweet smell entices me,
drawing me in.

What to do?
Is one choice better than the other?
The ocean can be exciting but also dangerous.
The path of flowers could be pretty but boring.
What should I do?
What would you do?

If I don't wake up soon,
I will have to make a choice.
I close my eyes.
I open them.
I'm still here.
I'll go with the safe choice,
since I'm a no risk person.
I'll leave the adventure to someone else.

The flowers smell so sweet.
The sun shines above.
I can hear birds again.
Will I see my white bird?
Oh yes.
There it is.
Flying above me.
Did I make the right choice?

Oh, look.
I'm back home.
Where I started from.
I guess I made the correct choice.
The correct choice for me.

TO THE UNKNOWN


Niagara Falls, over the edge

TO THE UNKNOWN

Take a walk over the edge.
If only we could.
A step into the unknown.
A fall into rushing water.
A soothing coldness.
An icy headiness.
No other sounds.
Only rushing water.
Holding you near and close.
Safe until you hit rock bottom.
To the unknown.

TAKE A CHANCE



The road to nowhere
or anywhere.
Your choice.
Where to go?
North or south?
East or west?
Home or far away?
Take a chance.
Pick a direction
and just drive.
Drive for hours.
Stop only to eat and sleep.
Where will you end up?
Your heart will lead you,
guide you to the end.
Then stop.
Look around.
Is there where you want to be?
Is this what you’ve been searching for?
If yes, then stay.
If not, go home.
Are you one
for chances?
Go find out.

FREE FALL THROUGH SPACE



What does it feel like?
To free fall
through the air.
To let yourself go
to the feeling.
To step back and fall.
Nothing but air
until you hit the water.
To believe in yourself.
To believe in the water
to cushion your fall.
Total freedom.
An escape from life.
An escape from reality.
What does it feel like?
I’ll let you know
after I hit the water.

THE BEAST WITHIN

zodiacke: Beast by Klaus Wittmann


The beast within.
Each one of us has
a beast lurking inside.
Waiting to be free.
Free to wreck havoc.
To seek revenge.
Yearning to be free.
We must tame the savage beast.
Refuse to let it take control
of our lives and our hearts.
We must soothe the savage beast.
Or we risk becoming one ourselves.

HOLD ON TIGHT!





Bolts of lightning light up the road.
We are nearing the eye of the storm.
Should we chase the storm?
Or should we give up and turn around?
We might never be given this chance again.
A chance to ride the storm.
Will we be thrown from our car?
Will we experience a rush of excitement?
Will animals and trees fly by us?
Let’s go!
We will never know unless we do it.
Hold on tight!

A DOOR TO HELL

skopinskid7:
My personal doors to hell vectorgallery
 
There is a door in Oasis, Florida.
It opens to your dreams and fantasies.
At times these fantasies can be a little distorted.
Open the door and take the risk.
Unless you are too afraid.
Then Oasis is not the place for you.

LEAP OF FAITH


thanksforthelovemke:
Let’s go for a swim.
Should we jump in with or without a life jacket?
Do we take the risk or play it safe?
That is the question we face
everyday of our lives.
Should we play it safe or not?
Sometimes we should take a leap of faith
and leap into the water without a life jacket.

THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 96

THE DEAD GAME — DAY 96



THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 96

Shana was upset that Todd had just revealed to Wolf all the information that they’d just discovered on their own. And she was annoyed at Wolf for his arrogant manner.
“Did you hear or see anything that evening? Did you know about the party beforehand?” asked Shana.
Wolf answered with a snarl, “Of course I knew about the party, but I didn’t know who had planned it. I’d asked around the company, but no one else seemed to know, either. That night I noticed flashing lights in the sky, but I couldn’t hear anything over the storm. All I heard was the crashing of a tree into the house, shattering one of my windows.”
I feel so bad for you. She tried to appear pleasant and calm on the outside. “Could we have a tour of your beautiful house? It looks very unique and interesting from the outside.” She decided to play good cop since Todd was already failing as a bad cop.
“Sure! Come in!” said Wolf, sweeping back his arm to indicate that they were welcome to enter his home. All of a sudden, he was switching gears to act like their friendly host. Shana wasn’t sure whether he was buying her act or not, but she felt that it couldn’t hurt to continue with it.
They stepped inside. They were standing in an enormous gallery with a huge array of life- sized statues displayed all around them. Huge portraits hung on the sparkling white walls under glaring overhead lights. As Shana walked past a portrait, she morbidly realized that the person in the picture was staring straight back at her—no matter where she moved in the room. The eyes didn’t shift, but they somehow monitored her every step.
The atmosphere of the house was beginning to feel confining and stifling. Shana had to hold back the chills that were threatening to stream through her body. Despite being scared and claustrophobic, she was determined to weather this encounter—without appearing afraid or the least bit intimidated. She glanced up at the high vaulted ceiling and noticed that its dark-green tinted glass gave the house a strange green color that reflected on everything.
“Let me show you around my house,” said Wolf, frowning at her.


I can’t wait.

THE DEAD ARE WATCHING AND WAITING


THE DEAD ARE WAITING


Come inside and visit.
The door is open for you.
The Dead are waiting for you.

Come inside and visit.
The door is open for you.
The Dead are waiting for you.

THE DEAD TAKE NO PRISONERS

What is happening inside the gazebo?
It is the dead of night in Oasis, Florida.
Mingled with the sounds of the howling wind
are sounds of chanting.
These sounds grow louder
as we step closer to the gazebo.
What is inside the gazebo?
Candles are lit in a circle, their
lights unwavering in the growing wind.
And in the middle of the circle, there is
a body dangling from a noose.
Dark figures are circling the body
and chanting in a foreign language.
The Dead Game has begun.
