The gates at the entrance to my home serve as a physical divide between my private life and the world at large, it by no means keeps nightmares at bay.
In fact, some days, those creatures of teeth and shadows are welcomed inside – by my wife.
She cannot be blamed entirely, as she does not do it intentionally, but that does not change the fact that death can follow her whispers like birds tracking a trail of seed.
While my normal adventures into the mouth of folklore or the occult haunt my memories, it is far too personal to confront them in my own home where it is not only my life that is threatened to be snuffed out like a funeral candle, but those of my family as well.
It is a reminder that here is no safe place, not entirely. Even one’s own mind can harbor more than just an inner voice. It is also a warning that careless words falling from an unchecked tongue can set fires eager to engulf anyone close enough to burn.
