Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within
Boogeyman under the bed

Last night, I dreamt that I was an insomniac. I was afraid to sleep, for there seemed to be something sinister lurking in the dark night that would seize upon me if I were to give in to sleep. What it was, I know not.
My windows were shut tight. Under my pillow, I had praying beads, a cross and some other charms but I still dare not sleep. My bro discovered a peeping hole in the floorboards under my bed and used a metal ruler to scrape at the eyeball peering through it. It screeched in pain before disappearing.
And then strangely, the dream evolved to be set in a hotel, with one of my ex-JC schoolmate working at the reception.
I woke up this morning spooked and feeling like I haven’t slept much. How I wish for dreamless nights.
