My Eyes Have Seen Too Much: a Collection of Horror, Fantasy, and Supernatural Stories

What makes the mind misbehave erroneously when love comes around and triggers something deep within the psyche to surface only when trauma prevails? Do dreams come from desires the unconscious mind hopes for? Why do nightmares possess the guilty and innocent with fears that cognitively only stop when no longer a threat, or do they? Is there really a Heaven or Hell? And if one does not believe and both exist, can one change its mind and affect fate when the soul’s existence hangs in limbo? Fantasy worlds only come true when everyday life cuts reality out of mind and compromises authentic living. Dead or alive; who knows what happens when a body comes back to life after being dead or does it?One can love but being in love at least once in a lifetime is worth it except when the harm is too grave to bare. Love is charitable most of the time, but it can cause emotional damage when it’s risky. Daydreaming about love can cloud the mind of reality because it is the queen of heartbreak. Too much drama in life can force the heart to shut down and look elsewhere for stability. Play the game of hearts literally because at least it’s one game one can sometimes control and win.If one believes in all magic, is one better than the other? The supernatural is nothing more than the mind playing tricks with the unknown, deceiving the mind into believing something is there. One must laugh to keep sane because bumps in the night can take on actual physical form. What the heart believes can manifest good and evil if the desire is true. Sometimes all it takes is a belief that the Boogie Man exists, and all cards fall. Everyone truly wants to know if there is a God. Self-consciously, one knows, and it is given to humanity to decide the truth or champion the human theory, ‘The Big Bang.’ Look how extraordinary life is and examine how everything comes together and works well. How can a tiny seed teach itself that within its existence, there is life? Therefore, life has a plan for self-perseverance at all costs. One will have to decide what to believe because, ultimately, decisions are a choice.Life can be difficult at times, but there is always a fantasy. Fantasy allows the mind to rest and pretend all is good. Sometimes it is the best place to find relief from the daily grind of working and providing for oneself, let alone an entire family. Daydreams allow one to fantasize and imagine magical lands and kingdoms you are a part of. Relax a little and let books, movies, and video games have you from time to time. Life is too short to be serious all the time, and those who can play for a few hours are more at ease with what life offers.Has anything ever been too real to be real? Don’t think that people haven’t come back from the dead for a moment. They have, and there is proof, but some only think the rising dead are not dead at all. One can feel different, and the returning dead tell various unique stories. Everyone prefers to hear nice stories when people go to Heaven and tell one all about it. But what about the stories they don’t want to tell when one goes to Hell? No one wants to hear the stories about burning bodies and the torturing of souls. What about the appetite of the previously dead? Is it real and changes into something sinister or becomes docile like a lamb? Enjoy and determine whether the stories within this book are just a figment of my imagination or strange personas of reality.Barbara Lynne Gray – Storyteller
