Eyes Wide Shut

Is someone saying a prayer? It’s an unfortunate moment to blink. Perhaps a song is being prepped or a wish is being made to take us to a magical land. Elder one looks a bit embarrassed by this or she’s going to start busting rap moves, but it’s all to entertain the younger one who’s looking a bit puzzled as to what’s going on at the moment. Her right hand is clutching a stick part of the fence for defence. Even the reindeer look inquisitive. They could have freed a trapped branch and it’s about to thwack Nanny in the back. Maybe we’re all going to be bombarded by snowballs and Nanny’s foreseen it. Only one of us is getting ready to run. The rest of us could be turned into wooden statues and end up stuck like the reindeer. And there’s me standing there just ready to take whatever happens.
