Oh now you're going to have to update your lj with the full cop rant you know (I popped over there just now and saw the fawn - awwwwwwww)

Ah, this piece just slays me. The Reaper of Dreams pulls her by the shirtfront and falling downward she reaches REM 6 to find Sleep sitting across from her, feet propped and fingers laced with a smirk that grates at her resolve. Can I just curl up in your brain and never come out?

Darling, I like you WAY too much for that! Trust me, it's a mess and barely habitable. :)

Thanks on this one!

Yes, I collected another lovely traffic ticket today. *falls off chair in puddle of ticket misery, tries to pull lead bar out of foot...sigh*

[mercutio_rane]

Thank you! *meow* :)

Oh God... you are good! ;) I love how you create such intense imagery, and you know how I'm a sucker for imagery!

[mercutio_rane]

I like the idea of our subconscious or the things we fear talking to us as separate entities, for some reason. It is sorta creepy, though!

[le_parapluie]

Fantastic drabble.

Possibly my favorite thing about it is your characterization of Sleep, who, whether this was intended or not, scares the hell out of me.

[krumfan]

This was haunting....I don't think I can add anymore to what everyone else has said!

Ditto.

This is fantastic such wonderful imagery. You write so deliciously (I really cannot think of a better way to describe it). I agree your Sleep is scary but there's also a slight sexy feel about this piece. Just amazing.
