Dream Eaters
Dream Eaters
Silently, invisible to the naked eyes, they attack, slow at first, like a creeping cold that is just a nuisance,
then a cough,and a sneeze, or two, or three or four or….the dream eaters have worked their way
into a person’s life, cloning themselves at incredible rates that rival any viruses that can take over the body.
Just as a cold congests the chest, the dreameaters create problems that are defined in medical terms, and drugs are used at first.
Then attitudes begin to change, and the person is not the same as they used to be.
The dream eaters are doing their job,depriving the person with the will to see beyond the very next day.
Friends and family and prized personal possessions are subject to neglect or sale.
Plants and trees might as well be black or brown instead of green.
Barking coughs come from deep with the damaged soul.
Eyes fill with water, but do not dare cry.
The dream eaters disperse as the personspeaks, breathes or sneezes, and another person thinks they have a cold.
