NightChild's Rule Of The Margin: "Accept the dread as a gift."
I have found the traces of the NightChild many times in the past
weeks. I wake up at 2am, having those 2am thoughts. Then I find the traces in thehallway or on the ceiling of my room. Usually they disappear in a blink of an eye, leaving me behind with this eerie feeling in a scene less real than the world around us, partial view of reality. But I know that by that partiality, that distancing from the shared world, it will be new: a revelation. It will be a vision, a more or less powerful or haunting dream. A view in, not out. A space-voyage through someone else’s or my own psychic abysses. What does the Nightchild want? No harm, I believe. It wants to teach me to hear the silent, see the dark, fix the broken, and feel other’s heart.“
