#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
A hound of pristine white and gold appears,
seemingly, from thin air.
Near it, any previous worry or fear is gone.
Here, you are completely and utterly safe.
24 Hours Sleeping - 23 of 24 - Dream
You saw the dreaming girl in the center of the city;
when she dreams, the city changes.
You also saw when someone tried to stop it with a bullet;
now she only makes nightmares.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
The costume clad giant stares down at you.
You know there's nothing behind those plastic eyes.
You can't remember how you've entered the ring,
but you regret it.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
The midnight views of the city fly by
as you rocket down the street.
You look to your left and right to make sure
you're keeping pace with your companions.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
The building itself is fake,
little details are missing or in the wrong place,
and the grass and trees are plastic.
Still, he insists this is your home, and demands you go about as usual.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
Once again, the game ends with everyone dead
at the hands of the tall, burlap fleshed man.
You would love to stop playing,
but you know he sees you through the screen, and he'll find you soon.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
A bullet flies through you;
a moment later, and an hour earlier,
you feel your body reforming,
back inside the strange capsule in which you had awoken.
24 Hours Sleeping - 13 of 24 - Theater
#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
Seven rabbits on a stage re-enact a murder;
when it ends, they start again;
from the rafters hangs a wooden face,
the only audience for the show.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
The poor old man truly believes
the strange puppets are his children
and still talks about a wife that is no longer there.
Pity becomes dread when you think you see his children move.

#Art of Dreams and Nightmares
You spy on the porcelain creatures through a crack in the wall;
they wander back and forth,
occasionally replacing their innards with fresh ones from the table.
One stares back at you.
