I Dream a Dream of Golden Flowers
Atop a bed of flowers, he lay cradled by a hill that had no end in sight. All around 430Please respect copyright.PENANAIdOKuVZlAk
him, flowers of gold bloomed. He watched the leaves unfurl and arch their faces 430Please respect copyright.PENANApo3ZpRcAbu
toward the sun. He enjoyed each and every flower, but knew naught where he was. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAGOYD5l6kOk
There was no wind here. There was sunlight but no sun. Above him stretched a bright 430Please respect copyright.PENANAzm7FyDqNVD
blue endless sky. Saul took in a breath of air that tasted of salt and sweetness. For 430Please respect copyright.PENANAelQhAPQR6w
those first few moments, he was alone. Only him and the flowers. But it was as he 430Please respect copyright.PENANAv03gBGqXou
peered his grey eyes to the horizon that Saul saw a figure. A creature, long and 430Please respect copyright.PENANAv9wmIUA5Bh
almost skeletal with horns so tall they almost appeared to breach the bright blue 430Please respect copyright.PENANAAqvdTsVOUV
above. He did not call out to it. He simply stared and tried to remember what 430Please respect copyright.PENANA8ISbDWW2Sj
manner of creature this was. He knew this…thing. And as he looked to the creature, it 430Please respect copyright.PENANAH1UjHdPiww
seemed it recognized him. The empty sockets of its skulls head looked down onto 430Please respect copyright.PENANAPznwda7ULU
him, the shadows burying into the back of his skull. It reached out a hand that looked430Please respect copyright.PENANA4wdOWpHUdL
to have roots for fingers. No words poured from its tongueless mouth. The flowers 430Please respect copyright.PENANANEJrCPnLdN
that had bloomed so quickly began to die. Their petals browned, shrivelled and 430Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Tutkxyv3
wasted away. Saul felt a fear he had pushed into his deepest recesses surface, its 430Please respect copyright.PENANAM0mLILqfxt
needle fingers pressed softly against his gullet as it crawled up the soft flesh of his430Please respect copyright.PENANARA4rRqCVZ6
throat and rested at the back of his mouth. It was a fear that he could not swallow. A 430Please respect copyright.PENANAhnsW8uDqUK
fear that would never leave him. Because it lived inside him, one that would live 430Please respect copyright.PENANA3MCWp7uPJD
inside him as long as he lived. The creature approached him. A cloak of whispers 430Please respect copyright.PENANAK8zK8s8oFh
wrapped around his ears as it stalked closer. Whispers that belonged to a voice Saul 430Please respect copyright.PENANAWWCPkHRBU2
had never wished to hear again. In the moment it took him to blink, Saul was no 430Please respect copyright.PENANAeTCLvCVgPD
longer eighteen, but fourteen. Eyes, blue as the sea, his blonde hair in its natural 430Please respect copyright.PENANAP3nzwL8gju
curly state. And he was weak. So very weak. With seemingly little strength the 430Please respect copyright.PENANAMg3TngnSTG
creature of wood and bone wrapped a hand over his forehead and slammed his head 430Please respect copyright.PENANASODTuqexUs
back onto the hill. Tears poured from his eyes as Saul mumbled pleas for her to stop. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAn2ImPfbObd
He begged and she did not listen. The roots that were the ribcage of the beast 430Please respect copyright.PENANALUkCgQbX25
groaned as it opened up, some sticky black substance pouring onto him before 430Please respect copyright.PENANAqMnSubuXTl
something else fell directly onto his chest. Saul’s crying quickly turned to sobs as he 430Please respect copyright.PENANAL2R06Si27p
took the beating heart that had fallen onto him into his hands. It beat slowly as he 430Please respect copyright.PENANA0NjV8E0r6u
cradled it gently, rolling over and curling up into himself. The dead flowers were 430Please respect copyright.PENANAaUd0O1aWy3
born again. And all around him, flowers of gold bloomed she whispered to him, “You stole my heart, baby.”
