Standing in front of the fireplace I can smell fumes

And hear the amok sounds

That is not ambient to my surroundings

The sounds and fumes grated ceaselessly

And kept me from sleeping

Suddenly, the sounds went idle

All I could hear were embers

crackling in  the fireplace

I get out of bed

erratically stumbling to the door

The lights flickered dismally

as the moon from some dark gate of cloud

sent its mellow light

Through the purple blackness of the window

All silent and  dismal

The trees start to sway lethargically

Creaking and breaking

It feels like a bad dream

And I wonder, am I dreaming?

I wish to evade this dream, but I am pulled further in.

I see peril in the distance.

Of a dark, slick bronze soaking into a  mossy place.

Of houses wherein men have lived and died,

I see haunted houses, I stand dumbfounded

In front of eerie graves forgotten

A thin wind beats,

And blows brown leaves with curled-up edges.

All-day it's dark, slick bronze soaks in a mossy place.

My fear began to rise.

Never have I felt an enormity of emotions so deep.

My eyes were stabbed by incandescent light.

In the distance, I hear, “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!”

I gallantly draw my vorpal sword and swing,

Beginning to deforest this vast land.

I hurriedly glanced about,

The foresight of danger in my head.

The sword went snicker-snack!

I left it dead, and with its head went galumphing back.

My adolescence forever changed.
