Dreams and Nightmares
4. Dream III

And she had no reason to want to leave this dream. When she'd lived, outside the city, the world had been a dark place with the only light coming from the city their parents told would steal naught children's souls away. And she wasn't naughty, not at all…but, perhaps like every other child in the world, she longed for a little light.

And now she has it, when she closes her eyes and the mask that covers her face can come off. She can chase those lights and stand under the lamp shade as long as she wants: for forever.
