In like a lion

I’m in a semi-hallucinatory dream of falsetto flower petals preening in the glory of a kaleidoscoping meadow. Suddenly there’s flash flood of blood. I awaken to find a nurse slapping my arm to get a vein pumping.

 

Vampirella finally got me.

 

I have a thing about needles and had resisted her best efforts for a blood sample. Took her two days, but she figured me out. Get him at 6:00 A.M. when he’s all drugged out and sleeping. The dream disappears and reality is a nurse with a needle. February’s flash flood turns into March’s menacing monster. I alliterate a lot.
