Sleep-Talking In Fear Premiere Contest Winner

When he's chalking trouble deep, He'll be talking in his sleep, If you peep, then you will find The fear that creeps in his mind; Grunting and groaning in pain, You'll hear him moaning again, Those mutterings won't be clear, His stutterings seem severe; He pours out his dreadful dreams, A sudden shout, as he screams, That cry of shock wakes him up, His sleepy talk shakes him up.

You got it so right. Most of the time sleep talking is the cause of our deepest fears. Wonderful write, Jo.
