Sleep Travelers
by Brenda Colbath
Come along with Little Dawnie and her fellow adventurer!
When they meet two new friends, Ning and Boss.
Tonight, she and Dog will take them on an adventure to the Zoo!
The animals talk to each other and are happy to leave the confines of their cages and play together!
Zoo keeper Mr. Shirl, who looks like Little Dawnie’s daddy, takes the friends on a tour of the Zoo, showing them how to play the games and the fun rides and introducing them to the Tigers, Lions, and Bears. Oh My!
Dog explains to Ning and Boss that they are, in fact, at home, sound asleep! They are Sleep Travelers! They cannot be hurt on their adventures, and if they are afraid of anything or are in danger, they will wake up in their own beds!
Because, of course, they are Sleep Travelers!
Imagine riding Orchid, the Orca whale, and having no problem breathing underwater! Imagine riding Ella the elephant or Harold the hippo! Do you want to meet the Lion Tamers, Tigers, and take a ride on their backs?
Our adventurers talk to the animals, and they talk back!
Tigger tells them of when the mean little kid climbed into his cage and tried to ride on his back, and Tigger was shot by the Ranger, and slept for a whole day! The Sleep Travelers thought the kid should have been shot!
How about Mr. Shirl cooking burgers, fries, and hot dogs for all the Sleep Travelers, including the animals, and everyone had fun making a big mess with a food fight? But not to worry, because all they have to do is “Think clean,” and it is all cleaned up!
I am a dreamer! I love to share my dreams and nightmares!
Creating worlds and characters and wielding power like a madwoman makes my characters happy, sad, angry, and sometimes have no redeeming qualities. I laugh aloud when writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites dies. I am a left-handed Gemini; what did you expect?
