An Unwise Disturbance

They should’ve let me sleep.

They could have. A short slumber is all I asked. A brief respite of time in which to pretend I was human.

But no. They awakened me.

So now, they pay!

whirling limbs

the folly of dances

with dragons

    Awakening the beast is never a good idea! Loved the mystery behind “time in which to pretend I was human,” Frank. Of what lies behind this thwarted desire. Thereby hangs a tale.

    The say here to never wake a sleeping bear, but I reckon a sleeping dragon is even worse to stir.

    Yes, don’t poke the dragon! I’m imagining a nap disturbed by some rambunctious children.
