The Witching Hour

By Chelsea Wood

Hi, I’m John, I am a character in the most enchanting book ever. Every night without fail we move into your world until the sun rays shine through the curtains. It always happens at the witching hour, the one time of night everyone is guaranteed to be fast asleep. First the long, green, twisted vines fully engulf the room. Then they start to grow flowers of the most beautiful colours, there are lilac roses and soft purple daffodils. After, all the animals jump out to join the forest that has grown, they roar, squawk and howl but you will never hear us. You are deep inside all your dreams, inside of your make-believe world while we are inside your world, your amazing world. While you live in your dream world, we make your world unimaginable, in a way you can’t even begin to fathom. But by sunrise we have disappeared, forever gone, like we were never here. Until of course the next witching hour.
