The Sleep Monster report

Name: Sleep Monster, The.
Sex: Male, although there have been reports of him being in female form.
Age: Unknown. First reports of visits by the Sleep Monster were filed in about 2002.
Place of origin: Unknown.
Attributes: Shape-shifter, bad-tempered, but relatively good in nature.
Basic description: The Sleep Monster eats the dust and grime off your dirty dreams. (Dirty not as in erotic, but messy, dark, humid, cruel, wicked, scary, etc. Dirty includes erotic though.) When the Sleep Monster feeds, you will sleep and sleep and sleep. There are reports of sleeping up to 20 hours a day because of the sleep monster.
Tell-tale signs that you have been sleepmonstered:
1) You slept for a long time, particularly if during the day. There have been few reports of the Sleep Monster visiting in the night, maybe because too many people are asleep then; it's too noisy for him.
2) You don't know why you slept or, it was against your will, you slept. Sometimes you have to sleep against your will but this is not recommended, you should sleep willingly and accept the descent of the Sleep Monster.
3) Felt tired even though you slept for very long hours. This could be either because a) your dreams are very dirty. Or b) you have been fighting in your sleep with the Sleep Monster to keep your dreams dirty. Or c) he likes you. Or d) he doesn't like you.
4) You woke up with bad hair. It has been postulated that this happens when the dirt and grime of your dreams are particularly tough to remove.
5) Feeling like he visited. You meet descriptions 1, 2, and usually 3, and feel like he has visited, then he probably visited.
Precautions to take to prevent from being sleepmonstered:
1) Sleep regularly.
2) Stop having dirty dreams.
3) Don't sleep with wet hair.
In case of meeting the Sleep Monster:
1) Don't panic, he will not hurt you. Relax, try to enjoy.
2) Be polite.
3) Don't speak to him unless he speaks to you first.
4) Don't assume that he is or is not the Sleep Monster for you might recognize wrongly, angering the real Sleep Monster who might be angered. Generally, you should only speak about him when you are awake. You will only know after you wake up, or if he says "I am the Sleep Monster", or "I am not the Sleep Monster".
Possible repercussions of pissing off the Sleep Monster: He'll not eat the dirt off your dreams and it'll get dirtier and worse.

Watch out! The Sleep Monster is on the prowl.

The Happy Green Snake

There is a green snake, usually quite harmless, that lives in a strawberry field. As the strawberries ripen, and turn bright pink red, the green snake is happy as it slithers about saying "hee hee" to itself. Once in a while, the green snake will choose for itself, a strawberry of a right size, colour, and shape, and swallow it after two chomps ("chomp chomp"). The snake bothers nobody, and nobody bothers the snake. The snake will live and be happy forever until that day when his heart gets broken.

Weird.

Weird to be an ant, you think?
Without a warning,
You will just be crushed and killed.

The moon

Tonight, the moon looks like a magic white bowl.
A bowl that is kind of jade-like or fragile, with a green or orange tinge, if you imagine.
Glowing in the dark, holding magic secrets.
Altogether, very compelling, very seductive, and very... special...

When was the last time you took a good look at the moon?
Tonight is my first time in a long time.
Tonight, I could be at a rooftop with a friend, taking a better look at the moon.

(Untitled)

Once upon a time, there was a white piece of wall. It was rectangular in shape, with the longer side as the horizontal. There were two rusty nails on this white piece of wall, like eyes, on a curious face. Rust stains leaked from the nails onto the wall, like tears, on a curious face. The white curious face piece of wall was framed by the larger yellowish or dustier piece of wall that framed the white piece of wall.
If you stood in front of it and stared long enough, you might imagine a smile appear, but would then feel generally glad that you could just walk away without saying goodbye, that you could just walk away and live happily ever after.

Moxie high

Recently, I find myself saying, "luckily, I'm high in moxie," too frequently.

Desperation

Desperately, he sighed and said to her, "I feel very desperate."
Desperately, he looked down his fat belly and sighed again, he brushed his thinning white hair with his hand, and he looked up to her from the edge of the chair.
Desperately, she could say nothing in reply.

She

She walks quite carefully
With umbrella in one hand.
Her toes are wet quite thoroughly.
She smiles. They understand.

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Lake

Beneath the frozen lake, something is writhing within. Perhaps more furiously so precisely because the surface is frozen. The life of the lake is not yet ice.
The life of the lake is not yet ice.

Start a fire, start a fire.
At the centre of it all.
Let it burn, let it burn.
The life of the lake is not yet ice.

What is writhing and writhing furiously?
What is struggling, what is strangling?
What is struggling to believe?
What is struggling to live?
The life of the lake is not yet old.

Scream, as loud as you can,
As loud as you will, scream.
