I’m late by my own standards. I usually get these done on Wednesday. I’ve had a tough week with ongoing lumbar pain. Serious pain seriously saps one’s energy. Saw my pain doc on Tuesday, changed up my meds a bit, feeling like things have settled down a bit already. Anyway, the delay helped me with this one. I was stuck yesterday, but saw my story immediately when I looked at the picture again today 🙂
“See those eyes? Right next to each other!”
“You have a vivid imagination.”
“No, LOOK! It’s almost like there are eyeglasses!”
“You see animals in clouds, too, right?”
“Wait–oh no! L-l-look–the ice is breaking. . .”
“Oh puhleeze! It’s not frozen that deep. There’s a current.”
“I’m getting out of here! You’d better run!”
“Nope. Not afraid of monsters.”
And then a deep, rumbling, earth-shaking growl came from the the stream. “You should be afraid! The Ice Man cometh!”
Just Writing! 
I hope you’ll feel better soon.

A change sometimes is as good as a rest.
Your story illustrates how little we trust ourselves with monsters. Are they all so terrible?

Thanks, James. Yes, the new meds are making a difference.
By definition, I think the only “good” monsters would appear in a Disneyfied version 🙂

I saw the eyes right away too. It’s so important to have an imagination but not if it turns things into monsters. I’m sorry about your back. I hope you feel better soon~

Thank you, Larry. I just finished a week of Prednisone, thank God that’s overwith! I hope to sleep tonight, and the Prednisone really did alleviate the pain. Got some next steps to take, probably resulting in another spinal steroid injection.

That would make me run too. Imagination and reality sometimes blur.
Trying to be creative when in pain is hard. You did well. Eek Prednisone…

Hoo boy! I have a love-hate relationship with that stuff! Finished it up yesterday morning, so had a pretty good sleep last night, but am still feeling wired and edgy. But the pain is reduced.
