Unleashing the lunar within
"Shadows don't move on their own."
Except mine always had.
I did the breathing exercise Mrs. Hawthorne taught me when I was little, count to ten, close your eyes, think of something peaceful. When I opened them again, everything was normal. Just regular darkness doing what darkness does.
My phone said 3:33 AM. Of course it did. Every time the nightmares woke me up, it was always 3:33.
The nightmare was still fresh, playing on repeat behind my eyes. A burning kingdom,a man with silver eyes reaching for me, mouth moving in words I couldn't hear. Shadows swallowing everything the castle, the sky, the screaming people. And me, falling through darkness that tasted like death itself.
