I remember (Bassett, 6/5/2021)

I remember the days when dragons and phoenixes swarmedthe sky. I remember the days when giants shook the ground. I remember the days when mermaids splashed in theirponds. I remember the days when ghouls and ghosts hauntedthe night. I remember the days when I fell asleep listening togoblins and imps crackling. I remember waking up to find it was all a dream.
