“It's hard to tell / if we close our eyes or if night / opens in us other starred eyes, / if it burrows into the wall of our dream / till some other door opens. / But the dream is only the flitting costume of one moment, / is spent in one beat / of the darkness, / and falls at our feet, cast off / as the day stirs and sails away with us.” IfsHardMomentsDreamEyeNightFallSleepDarknessDoorsFeetWallBeatsCastsSailCostumesOur Dreams Author:Pablo Neruda

“I go to bed, and I wait for sleep as a man might wait for the executioner. I wait for its coming with dread, and my heart beats and my legs tremble, while my whole body shivers beneath the warmth of the bedclothes, until the moment when I suddenly fall asleep, as a man throws himself into a pool of stagnant water in order to drown. I do not feel this perfidious sleep coming over me as I used to, but a sleep which is close to me and watching me, which is going to seize me by the head, to close my eyes and annihilate me.” MenFeelsHeartWholeMomentsBodyMightEyeUsedOrderFallWaitingWaterSleepMy HeartBedBeatsLegsWarmthPoolDreadStagnantShiverHeart BeatExecutionersStagnant Water Book:13 Short Scary Stories: Masterpieces of the greatest writers Source: 13 Short Scary Stories: Masterpieces of the greatest writers

“It's so funny. I honestly thought every one of those people on the show could beat anyone at any time anywhere. You just have to have a slightly off day or moment or two or you missed a touch of acid. It has nothing to do with credentials. Anyone could've chopped anyone at any time. I had to look at myself as the one who could lose this the most.” PeopleLooksTwoMomentsShowsLosesBeatsHonestlyAcidCredentials Author:Geoffrey Zakarian
