Knives At the Ready

The scene was set in zoom Knives were at the ready Was dragged into the room Hands really were not steady Was to film the ritual Camera in hand Looked to check if all ok Would rather sit than stand The executioners walked in Looked at the corpse on the slab Picked up the knives began to cut Was then ………………………………. Was then my alarm went off I woke up all a tremble Hands a shaking as they cut open the head Brains spilling all over the table Was my first day at an autopsy today My reaction was calm and serene But when I went to bed last night That was in my dream. Waking up from such a nightmare Makes me shiver whenever I’m asked To take some ones picture No longer a simple task dated 29/11/2012 Penned by Seren Roberts

Nicely done Seren! The thought of rituals is enough to make one physically sick and to be the center of the ritual...daunting. You've relayed the dream very well. Congrats on your win!
