Dan and the Poppies

“Daniel come hereâ€? whispered the eerily but seductive voices.

Yes thought Dan but which way? He scanned the meadow but the tall grasses and wild flowers created a Monet setting that left him bewildered and euphoric at the same time. In the distant center, he thought he saw red poppies waving back and forth. Ecstatic he headed for the brilliant red flowers.

“That’s right Danny we are over here.â€?

“Who are you?â€? he asked excitedly. He started to skip waving his arms like a school boy without a care in the world.

“Who are you? Why me?â€?

“You are special Daniel. We need you to set us free. Please hurry.â€?

“Who is holding you?â€? Cried Dan. He started seeing visions of voluptuous and scantly clad women reaching for him. A sobering thought reached his mind ‘What was in those gummies?’ He ignored it.

Dan finally reached those beautiful poppies at the center of the meadow. Tri spiral energies began to swirl yellow, green, blue and red light entwined him like serpentine constrictors.
