RE: A Month of Haiku - Week 2 (Theme) Beneath the Waves - Egypt

By the way...Two of my greatest fears were always to be eaten by an animal or to be swallowed up in an earthquake.

Great minds think alike, or perhaps... lunatics rarely differ πŸ˜‰ I have had dreams of being eaten alive by a tiger since I was a small child, and even used this experience as inspiration for a character in my latest short story routine procedure.

It sparks a memory of a recurring dream I had as a child of being eaten alive by a tiger.

I could feel my bones crunch and my limbs being torn apart. As I was being devoured, there was a switch, a strange sensation, a duality of thought. I felt my body change, like a spring of death uncoiled.

The pads of my feet tingled in the spreading pool of warmth. I could taste and smell a coppery tinge as my teeth chewed briefly on a slip of muscled meat, could feel my powerful neck bracing against a weight as I dragged away something that hung limply to the side of my head. A misty image would form out of the darkness, of my face half-eaten, bobbing lifelessly in front of my eyes.

That excerpt is lifted directly from the story, and before that, it was minded directly from my loopy subconscious.

Lol, being normal is lame and boring... I'd much rather have this type of crazy to draw upon for inspiration than be 'normal' 🀣

Haha, I like both πŸ˜†

But hold on! I don't get it. Part of that story...
Now you're making me read it all at 6 in the morning. Pfff. LOL.
THANKS. That's just fracking sauce awesome!πŸ˜‰

But yes, I agree: Normal is boring.

Lol, you don't have to read it all... especially at 6 am in the morning πŸ˜‚

That's why I dropped an excerpt. Oh, wait, yeah and a sneaky link.
