    Well-wrought! That moment between dream and waking, did the voice come from my mind... or the room?

    Such an eerie little snapshot in just three lines. I can almost feel the chill.

    This haiku captures a chilling moment with minimalist precision. The contrast between warmth and sudden cold perfectly evokes that eerie, half-awake feeling.

  • I will just die if that happens to me, lol. Loved this!
