My Room

In my room I sit.
Reading books,
Watching TV,
Exploring unseen worlds,
Dreaming of fantastical adventures.

With:
Sword fights,
True love,
Imminent death around every corner,
And monsters that are seen as unkillable.

I close my eyes.

I’m exploring in a labyrinth,
It’s dark.
The only light is the light of my lanturn,
But I’m not scared.
I’m excited.

I get ready to turn the corner,
When I hear a roar from behind
I turn and see a giant minotaur charging forward,
Towards me!
I’m about to dodge the attack.

A knock.

I quickly walk to my door to see my dad.
He hands me clothes to put up.
I close the door and set them on the chair,
I sit back down on my bed
And close my eyes just in time to dodge the minotaur.
