The Breach of Fantasy

Walking along my path in the woods
I stumbled across a strange sight
If not careful I would have walked by it
Missing that something wasn’t right
It hung in the air but clung on to nothing
Almost as if the air itself had been broken
The light had but shifted through this point out in space
No reference to this had before been spoken
I cautiously stepped forward to take a closer look
Just what exactly was this?
It made no noise or threatening moves
But the back of my mind implied risk
I looked around the back to gain more perspective
It looked the same there as it did before
Just what I confronted I had no guess
The possibilities and ideas began to soar
Then suddenly a hand reached through without warning
Grasping for anything it could grab
Followed by an arm to some dark large creature
I moved back to avoid being stabbed
I found a place to conceal my full person
But still keep watch the event
What was happening here was unlike any other
And I had to know exactly what it meant
The creature moved through and at last its full body
Was entirely out for me to view
The hole in reality had grown much larger
To allow the monster to step through
This beast was quite large, much bigger than me
It was nothing native to this world
But at once I did know just what was before me
The fear in me would have my head caused to swirl
Old folklore and legends have been old through the years
Of a variety of mean, gargantuan monsters
But sure as I was this was the inspiration to some
Causing sleepless nights to many youngsters
This was a troll or an ogre, whatever you call them
The creature was still what it was no matter the name
The fact that he stood not thirty feet from me
Caused my body to freeze just the same
As soon as it looked around to see
Just what new world it had come to
It turned back around to the hole in space/time
And gave a call for the next to come on through
All said and done twelve monsters came through
From one foreign world to the next
And soon they would wreak much havoc in town
On a people that would never expect

Soon through more time I would go on to discover
More points hanging in nothing like this
That would serve as new doorways for more to come on
Into our world with no trouble as they wished
The legends and lore of creatures of old
Some scary and some far much worse
Transposed from wherever they were once before
Had brought to our world a huge curse
Our lives as we knew them would not be the same
Many would perish in conflict
Humanity would soon catch on quick enough
To what surely no one could predict
And now we live in a world of great wonders
Vampires, werewolves, and dragons
Ghosts, goblins, and near anything else
That we had told over camp fire or flagon
The fake became real all in an instant
Changing our world forever
We will go on surviving the best way we know how
Being tenacious, brave, strong, and clever
