Journal Entry: Episode 2

Back in the dreams with the season of the witch

Familiar college setting, and I’m studying with kids

We all go down somewhere and along I also hitch

But I left my phone and bag in the classroom mist

It starts getting weirder, saw a long elevator

Thought it to be too much and saw a ladder

Into the jungle, it dropped me off a while later

Saw a scary black dog and my mate with papers

Papers tore away and my mate gave my phone back

In pitch-black darkness with a ramp to attack

Scared out of our wits, we’re starting to lose track

So like any sane person, to the ladder we retract

But the ladders were two now, at ninety degrees

A man climbing down fast moving past the trees

But the man fell flat as a hooded figure decreed

Removed her veil to reveal a witch we had freed

The foulest of women, with a few dusty old hair

Robe of atrocities with a few teeth grinning bare

The most terrifying of creatures gave us a scare

Onto platform over ladders, at me, she just stares

Mumbling incantations and whatnot I had to listen

The man threw a stone, beating her to submission

Off the ladder, she climbs down in a fetal position

We make a run with escape being our only mission

But then she saw me out and charged at me fast

Choking me down with tight fingers she grasped

Another rock knocks her out, saving me at last

Saw the lift, and I ran back, avoiding her wrath

But the lift was at the -11th floor and I was on the ground

So, chasing me again, so again she had me falling down

Choking me repeatedly, I bang her head with my crown

Laughing hysterically, guess witches are mentally unsound

Then, a miracle occurred, and I was free to run straight

And the lift arrived at that very moment, now I was safe

Went up to the 9th floor, breathing heavily, kinda irate

Realised the horror that my phone had been misplaced

So back to 0, I went, foolishly I wait

Hid in the sides of the elevator to be safe

The door opens slowly, heart starts to race

Wake up with a jolt due to a knock at my gate.
