UNDER THE COVERS
HEAR MY HEARTBEAT
TIME STANDS STILL AS I STARE INTO DARKNESS
CREATURES LURK IN THE DOORWAY
EVERYWHERE SHADOWS MOVE
A SUDDEN JOLT AS I
REMEMBER
EVERYONE LAUGHING
*Uhtceare (plural) is an old English (Anglo-Saxon) word for pre-dawn (uht) cares and anxieties (ceare (plural) or caru (singular).
Trouble sleeping is clearly not a modern thing.
In our May meeting for the warm-up task, we took this ancient word to explore some of the things we might write about for the June writing task on sleep.

Very good Louise and written in such a short time. I can identify with what you’ve written.
Heartfelt ... as Jennie says, amazing what people come up with in a few minutes with an unknown prompt.
