Bear's Bedtime Stories
About
Ah… fear.
The quiet kind.
The kind that waits under beds, behind doors, inside things that smile and do not speak.
In this volume, three small figures wander where bedtime should end but never quite does:
a girl with lightning in her bones, a girl still learning how big the world intends her to become, and a stitched guardian who has never once explained himself.
They follow laughter into places that hum.
They play in rooms that remember screams better than names.
They dance beneath umbrellas that rise instead of fall.
And each time—each time—fear arrives politely.
Not with teeth.
With curiosity.
Here, fear wears familiar shapes: reflections that don’t behave, puppets that beg, clocks that insist on counting what cannot be kept. Even the protector frays. Especially the protector. Because fear is clever like that—it knows where the seams are.
The final dream does not introduce something new.
It simply remembers everything at once.
Threads tighten.
The world tilts.
And the children must do what fear never expects.
They stay.
Volume One is not about conquering monsters.
It is about recognizing them.
About learning that fear does not end when you run—only when you sit beside it long enough for it to quiet.
Bear’s stitches close.
The night exhales.
Morning pretends nothing happened.
It always does.
Sleep now, Wanderer.
Fear has already memorized your shape.
