Hours pass, passing like wind
Hour and a half, whole hour,
yet not a slight sigh of slumber.
It was already nine o’clock
And another episode of his beloved show is about to end
As soon as the credits roll, he hears someone enters his bedroom.
It was his dad who was telling his son to go to bed.
An naive young gastropod full of energy was adopted by him and his wife.
At first, they thought he was just a pest wandering around their garden,
But once both of them found innocence beyond his sparkling eyes
They felt guilty and decided to held him.
Although they don’t know where the snail came from
The couple accepted him just like a human child.
Even though the couple are unsure;
What name could they call their son?
They gave him a friendly nickname:
"Pinky"
Pinky had a strange nightmare every night:
He dreamed that he was trapped in a black void.
But he wasn’t alone;
A grotesque creature appears
Running like a bolt.
He couldn’t see what it looked like.
But as long as he could remember
It was known as a tall, skinny being
seem to be made of black paint,
had a beige sack bag as its head.
And only had two feet made of meat.
When the monster was about to ambush
The defenseless snail woke up scared at midnight
And noticed that he forgot to turn his TV off.
One thing that he finds odd is that his TV is still on
Broadcasting his favorite show.
Then Dyna, the blue warlock and the main star of the show,
Was disappointed because he could sleep too.
"UGH! Why do I keep having the same nightmare every night?!”
Wells immediately noticed that he was shouting
At the same time as his young viewer.
“You can’t sleep too, little fella?"
Asks him curiously.
Pink is a person of fewer words
But the mage was able to understand
What he means is even tougher.
He couldn’t say a thing.
At first, the snail thought it was just
A figment of his imagination,
Until he realized Dyna was speaking
Directly to o him on the other side of the TV.
Then he invited the snail kid to meet his castle
In addition, the kingdom where he lives
Since his homeland is only accessible at midnight,
It is a good opportunity to, maybe, get some answers about
The beast witch is haunting his dreams.
One thing is tough:
he doesn’t know how to get into Dyna’s homeland.
The wizard told him to enter through a portal
That suddenly appeared in his wardrobe.
Once he arrived at the said realm,
He noticed that there was a big gate in front of him
That leads to an enchanted land beyond imagination.
The blue warlock receives the gastropod with open arms
“Welcome to Midnighten, the midnight town!”
Said Dyna overjoyed to see the newcomer.
