The Attack of the Creatures

They were everywhere today...the woman couldn't get away from them...trolls and imps of every shape and size...they were out to cause havoc in her world...her day had started out bad...she had choked and couldn't breathe...thought for a minute or two she would surely die...

Finally the woman found relief and could breathe...raspy...but at least breathe...

the world had turned white overnight...a wet and icy mess...it sent chills up her spine...she took her chariot out for a spin...it had warmed for over an hour and still the winter's icy hands clung to the inside...she should have known to stay in with these early warning signs...but life awaited to be lived...

Creatures started coming out of the woodwork early....there was gnashing of teeth...on an old worn sock...sliding and belly crawling by the most hideous...they were kicking and biting and slapping and hollering...running and being such frightful things....how could the woman endure such a world...when and where had it happened?

The woman had been suspicious for awhile...was expecting the world she lived in to be invaded...but these creatures were beyond even her imagining...how vile and ugly they behaved...surely if they weren't controlled chaos would rule and the good in her world would be destroyed...she felt all alone in her world...without protection...

The woman hid in the shadows...watching...waiting...was this the evil that had been foretold...the things that had crossed over to her world...had they overtaken the bodies of the living and even now controlled their every action...
Or was it just the aftermath of heart day sugar highs and lows...and the blanket of white covering the ground...
Finally the day came to a close...the woman had survived the vile creatures...she had come back home to rest...and revive...sleep and prepare for another round on the morrow...would it be better or would the creatures need corraling again...
Either way the world had been saved for today...the woman would sleep tonight....then be ready for another day...

If I can survive this the woman thought as she drifted off to sleep...I can manage any real evil that might show itself in my world...and she let herself dream...a dream of a far away prince...a Lion who roared his love for her....and a real Happily Ever After...for in the dream world...anything is possible...
