WOWWeek of Weird Four @katiehuttlestoneauthor and I often swap our writing, and chat about our ideas. Today’s prompt comes from a line from her WIP: …You were half dreaming, you know, that bit before waking when you see spiders and big shadowy figures… Write about what you see or hear in that ‘bit before waking’, the…
