Читать книгу The Star Riders and the Mystery of the Fairy Circles - Peter Kerry - Страница 3

I stand barefoot on desert sand, high dune mountains on either side. The sun burns mercilessly and brightly from the cloudless sky. In the distance ahead, a black cloud approaches with a rumble of thunder. A shudder runs through me. The black cloud wall has almost reached me. It goes over me, under me, behind me, to my sides. I put my hands over my ears, but the merciless noise forces me to my knees. Everything is unexpectedly quiet. I let go of my ears again. Everything is black around me. Suddenly, out of the darkness, a burning devil's grimace shoots at me with a deep roar. I scream in panic.

"Peter...Peter...what's the matter with you?" he hears a soft female voice asking. She pulls his covers aside. He lies huddled in terror, sees his mother's eyes, rushes up to cling to her.

"Oh mommy..." and he tells her what he just experienced.

"Oh Peter, you don't need to be afraid. That was just a bad nightmare. None of that has happened and never will. Go on sleeping. Your father and I are next door.” She gently runs her hand through his hair. He lies back on the bed. She kisses him goodnight and leaves his room.
