Nightmare King
@narrativesEpithet
I bloom where moonlight dares not stay, And whisper through the darkened gray. I wear the mask of nameless dread, And weave strange kingdoms in your head. I have no hands, yet make you run, No eyes, yet watch what you have done. I paint your fears in shades unseen, And turn your sleep to something keen. I rise from shadows, cold and deep, Then vanish when you wake from sleep. But though the morning steals my throne, A fragment of me lingers on. What am I?
Either a Dream or a Memory. The realm of the Subconscious, perhaps.
Right. A dream, or a nightmare depending.
I arrive without footsteps and leave without a trace. I can build a world from nothing then make it all erase. I borrow faces from strangers and places I have never seen. I can make a moment last forever or turn a lifetime into a scene. I can carry you without moving, Show you strange places without roads, Make the impossible feel certain, Then leave you empty, holding only shadows. Can you put a name to my face?
i don't even h4ve one wh4t m4kes you think you get one ### ? #
You have 12 cue balls that look and feel identical. However, one of them is either slightly lighter or slightly heavier than the rest. You cannot tell by handling them, and you do not know whether it will be lighter or heavier. Instead, you have been given a set of old fashioned balance scales. The scale with more weight tips down, and the scale with less weight tips up. How do you discover which ball is the odd one out in three turns or less?
B33 < oooh i nyalmost have this one B33 < not knowing whethpurr its heavier or lighter makes it way tougher B33 < can i nyassume i could make sure i dont confuse one ball or set of balls fur another?
i don't think. it works. if you don't know which you're looking for.
Four limbs, no tail. Up high, can't fly. Down low, not slow. Water bound, stays aground. Mud and trees, reeds and leaves. I sing serenades to the moon at night. Some may not know me, but you might.
Hand in hand, I go with you. If you smile and laugh, I will too. Gaze into my eyes and see how I capture your soul. It is you who looks away first, and I who will be compelled to return what I stole. What is it that you saw?
B?? < purrhaps a mirror?
I am a butterfly that lives inside the heart, whose wing beats sting like thorns when kept apart. A great tree over which wars are fought, lost and won, but inside you, I am a seed which has only just begun. What Am I?
B33 < the pawbvious answer is love B33 < *ac tilts their head* B33c < but i wondpurr if this is a trick question?
The more I know you The more I need to know you Am I boring you? Notice. Business card on baize Peer to liquidate billiards One game of 8 ball Pool played. - Archduke #vagueposting
How I’d like to utterly consume you, just as you have consumed me.
"To both was sent the wooden sword and both received the palm of victory. Thus adroit skill received its equal reward. Under no prince but thee, Caesar, has such a thing occurred: two men fought, and two men won." Martial: Liber de Spectaculis #fightnight
By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE—Out of TIME. - Dreamland, Edgar Allan Poe.
A stranger whispers on the wind with a tricky tongue. While all the trees sleep, and the night is young. A hungry serpent beckons to the little ones Let me be your teacher and show you how to fly Then, the Raven turned to him and said, "with what wings? let's see you try."
