Dreams I’ve had; unedited but (for better or worse) not always fully remembered.
The most boring baseball game in history is finishing. I’m here with my family (dad, mom, two brothers…) but we’re oddly out of sync chronologically. Mom is a bit too young but dad is about the right age. My one brother is somehow older than me now and my youngest brother is now reverted to […]
A dark, underground structure. There are huge circular, collapsible blades for cutting and crushing. A doctor (mortician? the city’s medical examiner?) is associated with this space. We’ve been investigating him. He’s the killer? They’re already dead when they come down here? We expect a grisly scene; we already know that this is where bodies are […]
Selling goods (knives? Girl Scout cookies?) door-to-door, a young lady and myself come across our next stop on the circuit and attempt to get ourselves in front of a decision-maker. We’re down a few sales from the day’s quota and need this one bad. (The last stop turned out to be an abandoned McDonald’s occupied […]
An old friend and co-worker (RC) shows up at the office to have lunch. He’s in a baby blue hoodie and looks like he hasn’t had a shower or clean clothes in a week or so. His beard is half grown in, full stubble all around. He’s got bags under his eyes, the whole nine. […]
A.’s parents are in town smack in the middle of a most hectic week. Everyone has work to do (they’ve even brought theirs to us.) I wrap up a little bit of work (data analysis) and head into the kitchen to put some dishes in the sink. I notice that there is water all over […]
We barely made it out without killing anyone the first time. Cleared the town but we knew they would be after us for things other than the killing; we definitely hadn’t murdered anyone but I didn’t know about the other things. I couldn’t know. We took refuge in the parking lot of a townhouse community […]
My dad (assuming the form of Junior from The Sopranos) has a plan for cutting Canada’s automobile emissions by some absurd percentage. It will be a big adjustment but this is something that must be done. There will be lots of unhappy people and they may need to unpleasantly enforce the new policy but it […]
I’ve come to visit a friend (B.G.) and hang out for a bit. Seems his house has been moved to inside an old fortress on an island. The fortress walls are probably 100 feet high. He lets me in through one of the gates (I’ve rowed across a lake to get here). Once inside, he […]
There’s some kind of reunion of St. Mary’s College students in this large outdoors area. We’re having a group picture taken on this particularly steep hill (which reminds me of the hill near the house my folks owned when I was really little). We’re all carefully positioned “just so” as though we spell out something […]
It’s move-in day at St. Mary’s College and we’re moving back in for some kind of repeat of our senior year. The roster for the house has changed up a bit and there are six of us instead of four. M.G. is there, as is B.T. (and myself, of course) but K.M. is not, replaced […]
