Kingdom

Plop. I hit the mattress comforted by the way it hugs by body. As the safety fills my lungs, I am released from the anxiety that had engulfed me. Here I can rest from the pain of real life. And as I relax the world around me shifts. I can already hear the stones stacking themselves into mighty walls. My walls, that even the best climbers would stumble on. I can smell the dirt as the mote digs and fills itself. A deep dark pit filled with the creatures from your nightmare. The guards have taken their post, ready to protect their queen with their lives. On my throne I lay, in the safety of my castle. Where my fate is not bound by universal laws. Safe and free....to dream.
