Nightmares Not Only Haunt You At Night, They Scare You To Death During The Day.
The Subjects That Fascinate Me Are Also The Ones That Bring Me To Tears, often robbing me of a peaceful nights' sleep.
Depending upon where you live life can be as strange, unusual and as
frightening as the nightmares that interrupt your sleep during the night,
forcing you to wake in a panicked state. Confused and disoriented, you struggle
for a few minutes to regain your sense of awareness, as you realize the terror
you just faced was not real. However, while you were fleeing whatever creature
that was chasing you, it seemed as authentic as any situation you have ever
experienced. The things we experience in life can often be compared to the
night terrors that rob us of a peaceful night’s sleep. As we encounter the
nerve shattering events that the out of control criminal elements thrust upon
us, against our will. Whether it’s rape, murder, robbery, abuse or
malicious destruction of property, the effects are the same, we’re physically,
emotionally and mentally damaged. Individuals who find themselves incapacitated, innocence
stolen and their ability to trust taken away, forced to exist as frightened
children, jumping at every strange sound, shadow or the mere presumption of a
threat. No longer capable of enjoying the pleasures of life to their fullest. We
then began to isolate ourselves, hiding behind locked doors, suspicious of
everyone, especially a stranger. Prisoners trapped in self-imposed confinement
to avoid being touched by the all-consuming forces of malfeasance and their
crippling effects. Some barely survive this unexpected and unwarranted evil
intrusion into their lives, while others are completely destroyed and then
there are those who decide that no hostile force is going to prevent them
from pursuing the goals they have set for themselves, regardless of how
difficult the task may be. They emerge from that pocket of despair and press
forward to accomplish and achieve what seems like the impossible. Then
there are those individuals who through a creative approach utilize the
negative experiences, to recreate and reshape their lives, benefiting from the unpleasant
encounters, by sharing their struggles through the written word. In addition,
this is where my effort to forge a career as a writer begins.
