Nightmare SagaDream 1

A lone winter. Jon returns to the burnt church he knew as a child and rebuilds it with a hammer and a broom. Snow drifts in through the roof. Hounds move in the trees. In the quiet rooms, others left notes. Outside, the tracks in the snow are not his.

  • The burnt church at night, its towers black against the sky, one high window boarded over with planks
  • Pine trunks and ferns at dusk, the last amber light showing between the trees
  • A rowboat beside an empty dock and boathouse on a still lake, pines along the far shore

The story

Jon is in his early twenties. He moves into a shed near the woods and starts to clear the burnt church, one room at a time.

The place resists him. Doors hang loose. Paint peels from concrete. Notes left by those who came before speak of faith in terms Jon does not recognize.

Dream 1 stays close to Jon as he works, explores, and decides what the church really was.

Light falls through a tall window onto the stone floor of the nave, past a stained-glass angel

Stills

  • The burnt church at night, its towers black against the sky, one high window boarded over with planks
  • Benches and posts inside a wooden shelter on a pier, lit by low sun over the lake
  • Pine trunks and ferns at dusk, the last amber light showing between the trees
  • The church nave in darkness, a stained-glass angel lit at the far end
  • A rowboat beside an empty dock and boathouse on a still lake, pines along the far shore
  • The ruined church against a deep red sky, bare branches across its towers

The days

  • A burnt church, eighty paces by a hundred.
  • A shed near the woods.
  • A well, frozen over.
  • A graveyard behind the church.
  • Lantern light. Voices on the radio.
  • Every repair done by hand.
