Collaborative Piece by Musings Club Members
They say that there’s a place that’s only accessible between 12 and 12:01 A.M. They call it Dreamer’s Territory. The only way to get here is by the cab driven by the faceless man. A sad tale is his life, but that is a story for another time. Now there are only a few rules that I must tell you before you consider adventuring to this place. Number 1 be sure to be on time the cab waits for no one. Number 2 always be sure to wear a watch as time does not exist here. What may seem like a few minutes could be hours in your reality. Number 3 if you happen to come across a field of red flowers don’t pick them, they won’t let you go. Follow these rules and you should do just fine. Oh and one more thing... Be sure to catch the cab when it’s time to go... You wouldn’t want to be stuck here forever, trust me I know. - Diamond Young
