Sleep

Are you asleep?

"Shh! Don't disturb the blissful peace....", his voice died out in a groan.

Why are you sleeping? Don't you want to wake up?

"Leave me alone!"

Why are you sleeping at a time like this? His arms are up and he's seriously getting frustrated.

growling

He stops and does not continue. He's half afraid the little monster is going to spring up and go for the throat.

The thing glared at him. "Who was this insolent fellow who felt he could wake him from his peaceful sleep." He hated waking up. He hated seeing the world. The last time he woke up and tried to do something, he almost got shot and killed by a maniacal human who claimed he couldn't exist.

Sigh.

The person turned around and started to leave. He was starting to feel pretty low. It's going to take something fantastic, but this little creature could do something. I mean, people don't believe things like him exist. He stopped and turned, wondering. Just what would happen if he yanked him up off the ground.A quick cost benefit analysis settled his mind. He strode over full of purpose.

Wow! The thing bites!

But, it didn't bite him.

The troll had heard me whisper, "People believe more lies than truth until they see truth staring them in the face."

  1. I'm glad to see you're finally realizing that you have been asleep. I know it's been hard to admit such a thing, but admitting a problem is the principle method to solving it. You've taking the first step in stating that there are so many lies you've believed despite the truth staring you in the face.

    Welcome to reality. Welcome to your first steps in not being one of the sheeple.

  2. Given that you have been known for dramatic sarcasm in the past, I would like to know what you mean "lies", "truth", and "sheeple" to represent.

    1. Sheeple - Those who have had their "eyes opened" and proclaim that much of citizenry simply follows the crowd and/or does no true thinking for themselves.

      Truth - The personal beliefs, not necessarily based upon facts, or even rational thought, of the aforementioned sheeple.

      Lies - Beliefs, opinions, or statements that the aforementioned sheeple do not like.

      But of course, given the highly confusing nature of your post, there is the distinct possibility that I have simply drawn the incorrect conclusions.

    2. I think if you reversed those definitions, you would be on the right track...

      But, yes, you more or less misunderstood the story.
