Dream: Daughter of a Scientist

Let me introduce you to my best friend.

He’s my dad, a doctor and scientist.

He likes to work on top-secret projects.

My TV monitors his location.

-

He disappeared; He must be dead, I guess.

Well, that’s okay. I met a blonde woman:

Said “Dad’s not dead,” but I don’t understand.

So she shared footage from video cam.

Since dad’s not dead, I’m going on a quest.

-

Hey, guys, guess what. I’ve got a new best friend.

She’s a teddy bear, who can color change.

Just teddy bear, haven’t thought of a name.

Looked for my father, but found only pain.

Now teddy bear, brings me joy again.

Teddy vanished. On whom can I depend?

-

Both best friends are gone. Everything is pretty-

Bleak, depressing, and dismal from my plight.

Cold, dark, gloomy; probably from the night.

As I cross a bridge, howls fill me with fright.

Did you see that? A bipedal canine?

Under the bridge, against the walls where I-

-

Hide, crying. Cover my mouth as I scream.

I can see fine because the moon is bright.

The creature follows me underneath the bridge.

Despite the night, it is easy to see.

The full-moon a spotlight shining brightly

Goosebumps. Too terrified to try and flee.

It’s too late to hide: the monster’s coming.

Up on two legs, the wolf stumbles towards me.

-

A few feet away, it stops,

Something had changed suddenly.

I gained an advantage.

Gnashing teeth, scintillating claws,

It's the wolf's turn to run.

I give chase, I pursue,

But what shall I do

If I manage to catch him?
