I Dream a Dream of Golden Flowers
Atop a bed of flowers, he lay cradled by a hill that had no end in sight. All around 432Please respect copyright.PENANADUZ4fl6l8U
him, flowers of gold bloomed. He watched the leaves unfurl and arch their faces 432Please respect copyright.PENANASmfeYdIxQ1
toward the sun. He enjoyed each and every flower, but knew naught where he was. 432Please respect copyright.PENANAvRwfMHIGCa
There was no wind here. There was sunlight but no sun. Above him stretched a bright 432Please respect copyright.PENANAyWLCm5b1o3
blue endless sky. Saul took in a breath of air that tasted of salt and sweetness. For 432Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wBGoGsJS
those first few moments, he was alone. Only him and the flowers. But it was as he 432Please respect copyright.PENANAy954SIYIrX
peered his grey eyes to the horizon that Saul saw a figure. A creature, long and 432Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ8MsOmHnN
almost skeletal with horns so tall they almost appeared to breach the bright blue 432Please respect copyright.PENANAuz6j0YCM8p
above. He did not call out to it. He simply stared and tried to remember what 432Please respect copyright.PENANA8xa5uEhq1b
manner of creature this was. He knew this…thing. And as he looked to the creature, it 432Please respect copyright.PENANAkF0bqvpHKM
seemed it recognized him. The empty sockets of its skulls head looked down onto 432Please respect copyright.PENANARoUYkHCrih
him, the shadows burying into the back of his skull. It reached out a hand that looked432Please respect copyright.PENANA8T5am1iasv
to have roots for fingers. No words poured from its tongueless mouth. The flowers 432Please respect copyright.PENANAYzq8UodzH9
that had bloomed so quickly began to die. Their petals browned, shrivelled and 432Please respect copyright.PENANA9onJK0W7H5
wasted away. Saul felt a fear he had pushed into his deepest recesses surface, its 432Please respect copyright.PENANAsTfjvWJmZh
needle fingers pressed softly against his gullet as it crawled up the soft flesh of his432Please respect copyright.PENANA71RwF0GnlW
throat and rested at the back of his mouth. It was a fear that he could not swallow. A 432Please respect copyright.PENANA45s1smqh85
fear that would never leave him. Because it lived inside him, one that would live 432Please respect copyright.PENANAK28AG8lLP0
inside him as long as he lived. The creature approached him. A cloak of whispers 432Please respect copyright.PENANAUoUUrZ3mMs
wrapped around his ears as it stalked closer. Whispers that belonged to a voice Saul 432Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Bz9Wbr2z
had never wished to hear again. In the moment it took him to blink, Saul was no 432Please respect copyright.PENANAKijBZ8K1jS
longer eighteen, but fourteen. Eyes, blue as the sea, his blonde hair in its natural 432Please respect copyright.PENANA677VyGZWse
curly state. And he was weak. So very weak. With seemingly little strength the 432Please respect copyright.PENANAPAvFXHGZiL
creature of wood and bone wrapped a hand over his forehead and slammed his head 432Please respect copyright.PENANANDdwL4MPNy
back onto the hill. Tears poured from his eyes as Saul mumbled pleas for her to stop. 432Please respect copyright.PENANAQAgDCTXgTH
He begged and she did not listen. The roots that were the ribcage of the beast 432Please respect copyright.PENANA8ql7dbjSxi
groaned as it opened up, some sticky black substance pouring onto him before 432Please respect copyright.PENANA3UI7Pyfihy
something else fell directly onto his chest. Saul’s crying quickly turned to sobs as he 432Please respect copyright.PENANAY0tRRs7ExM
took the beating heart that had fallen onto him into his hands. It beat slowly as he 432Please respect copyright.PENANACckqalpqqE
cradled it gently, rolling over and curling up into himself. The dead flowers were 432Please respect copyright.PENANAYvdVRo2jfP
born again. And all around him, flowers of gold bloomed she whispered to him, “You stole my heart, baby.”
