MOODBOARD MONDAY: Dream

Trying to get back in the groove of writing book 2 of the Truth Saga and @moon-and-seraph's MBM came up on my dash just in time!

The snake was wrapped around his throat, dragging him down into thick, black oil. He choked, tried to scream, but the oil filled his mouth and no sound could leave. There was a knife in his hand. The metal was cold in his palm as he lifted it through the sludge. His hand came free, plunged the weapon into the snake’s coiled body – but the snake was gone. His throat burned and blood coated his hand.

Blade, the main character of Bitter Truth, is an extremely closed off and brainwashed man, to the point where he can scarcely understand or recognise his own emotions in his waking life.

As such, one of the main narrative tools I use is his nightmares, thick with symbolism to warn him where his mind is at throughout the novel. These nightmares are recurring/themed so I thought I'd throw together a moodboard based on them!
