Sometimes computer generated
images come on screen with
comforting words, or maybe
instructions. While mornings
come and go with regularity,
it is nothing like going up against
dragons with wooden swords
or feasting at a Knight's table.
In the forest, the elves watched
and whispered and the witches
cast spells making it hard to
escape without a hero, or
maybe a unicorn galloping
to the rescue.
