I had a dream the other night where a young boy watched a demonic figure watching a city, watching and prowling, keeping them inside. When I woke up I started to write it down, because something about it struck home with me. This story is one from the perspective of a ten-year-old boy named Efram who sees the Grenzentruppen der DDR (those who watch the Berlin Wall at night) from his window. He can't understand what they are at night, and so his imagination creates a beast--called the Wraith--that devours anyone who tries to escape. Because he cannot understand what is truly happening. While I don't know very much about the Berlin wall, I tried to write all that happened in my dream with as much clarity as I could.
