How many times had she been woken by the same nightmare? “It was a dark and stormy night” she thought…Edward Bulwer-Lytton was the first person to write that phrase on paper, but it was happening in her dreams every night!
Jane had tea and a warm bath to dispel anything that might disturb sleep. She cuddled under the quilt, and with heavy eyes, fell asleep. She woke to find herself in a storm, returned to the catacomb.

Nice, Cheryl. That would be such a bummer – I’d never want to go to sleep!

Christians lying in a row
Secret tunnels down below
Away from Roman prying eyes
Faithful man goes when he dies
This resting place, this final home
Here within the catacomb
Where I, an atheist at best
Am humbled, quietly impressed
By faith itself, by pure belief
By death that came a pure relief
Here rest believers of the past
Perhaps you’ve found your God at last
May your eyes still somehow see
The meaning of the mystery
