The Terrible Dream Eater

An original illustration by David White

The Terrible Dream Eater by David White plunges viewers into the unsettling territory between sleep and nightmare. A monstrous, many-eyed figure looms over a sleeping man, surrounded by bats, shadowy forms, distorted faces, and fragmented writing. The dense composition transforms nighttime fear into something tangible, capturing the feeling of being trapped inside a dream that refuses to release you.

Let the Night Be Night: “The Stars Do Not Ask Me to Hurry” — Substack Issue #7

Nothing here needs to be mended tonight. Issue #7 of the Substack is a reflection — and a poem — about the patience the night teaches, and writing the ache as it is, unadorned, and the hope as it is, unfinished.
Through Whose Eyes?

Who decides what is right and wrong? Examine ethical subjectivism, cultural relativism, and divine command theory to explore how conscience, culture, faith, and power shape the moral judgments we make about difficult human behavior.
Apologies I Never Got

Some apologies never arrive, so I stopped waiting for them — this poem is about giving myself the closure no one else offered, and placing my own crown on my head.
