This is a bedtime story for grown ups about you exploring woodland in autumn before heading out into a meadow and a ravine, you walk a rope across to the middle of the ravine before base-jumping down into the ravine and camping on the cliff beside a thunderous river. You drift asleep and dream of an adventure where you find an hourglass. You wake-up with that hourglass in your pocket, climb the cliff and continue your journey. You find an unusual stone and a space on the stone for the hourglass. You place the hourglass on the stone and drift into a meditation where the seasons pass around you. After the seasons arrive back at autumn a slender person in leather trousers and a long leather jacket appears out of a haze. They introduce themselves as being a vampire and the one who entered your mind to give you the experience to find that hourglass, so that you could have this experience. They have lived thousands of years, which alters your perception of time and they wanted to share this so that you could share their story of how they experience reality. They hand you a blank book to write in and give you instructions. You camp the night, knowing you will head home in the morning, and you drift peacefully asleep into Slumberland.
