Dreams I’ve had; unedited but (for better or worse) not always fully remembered.
The hallway feels like the one from a high school or middle school. It’s not the lockers but the cieling and the sterile walls and tiling. I’m rushing to the bathroom and when I reach it, I notice that there’s only one stall and it has a labyrinthine entrance. I have to navigate through several […]
The end of the world! The flood waters are coming! Imminent watery destruction for everything and everyone! There’s but one chance. One hope to survive. An Ark-esque airship – – hydrogen filled and ready to be set aloft. Big enough for all. We need merely to get there. Orderly, single-file through the city. If we […]
My brother and I are sharing a room like back when we were kids. Bunk beds and pale green walls. It’s the middle of the night. He wakes me as he comes back in. He’s stark naked and half-doubled over. In pain, clutching at himself. What’s the matter? I gotta go to the bathroom. Then […]
A MacBook Pro has arrived with my name on it. Excited, I clear off some desk space to get it set up. Carefully, I unwrap the box and ease the box open. Cautiously and with gentle movements do I withdraw the interior styrofoam casing from the cardboard box. And I flip that comparment open to […]
I’m at a time share in New England owned by my grand parents. Not my dad’s folks though; my mom’s folks. The time share condo resembles my Kindergarten classroom except elongated and with less toys. Commotion permeates. Not just the expected commotion of too many people in too small a space. And not just the […]
The setting is a bar more Cheers than Club Charles but not completely unpalatable. I’m meeting friends there and have this feeling that I’m running late. I wind up being the third of our crew to arrive and wind up taking a seat next to one of the two (but the two being quite in […]
Zombies are coming! They’re closing in. They’re fast but not agile. I race through the building, climbing stairs and slamming doors. There’s nothing I can use to defend myself except this banister I’ve ripped off the wall. The little metal bracket for mounting it on the wall comes in handy as I swing it wide […]
The weirdest thing is that we don’t find it at all weird that the back yard starts an immediate sharp upward slow right outside the back door of the house. What frustrates us (dad and I) is that we can’t seem to get certain elements leveled like we expect. This trio of trees is unbalanced. […]
We’ve (where “we” is a bunch of St. Mary’s folks) started a small software business and our office space is in a skyscraper-ish building in some unspecified city. We’re doing OK but like all small software businesses, it’s a little hit-or-miss some months. On this particular event, we’re embroiled in a head-to-head shouting match with […]
There’s some kind of nasty illness going around St. Mary’s. It’s afflicting everyon; a Black Death-ish sort of thing that hits you hard for a couple of days and goes away. And then you wind up getting it again because you go back to class and getting it from someone else. I’m finally better and […]
