First day of class at University. The students have gathered dutifully in the classroom to await the arrival of our professor who will un doubtedly shed all manner of enlightening facts and thought-provoking theories upon us. The class is some kind of mash-up of classical literature, metaphysics & ontology, and some other hypothetical items. The […]
I’m cast in the role of Luke Duke (a la “Dukes of Hazzard”) and my brother Bo and I are trying to clear our names – – racing around an undisclosed university campus in the northeast. Bo’s girlfriend’s life is danger (possibly she’s dead already) and we’ve been framed for it. She went to a […]
I’ve arrived by parachute at this structure that appears to be a scaled-down version of the tenements from The Kung Fu Hustle – – except that it’s an animal shelter. And I’ve been brought in to re-write their brochures and pamphlets and other literature. It’s a challenging task because the words won’t sit still – […]
I’m in this huge stadium-like space. This gigantic, sodium lamp-lit, Lego-built American Gladiators arena from hell. Each end has teams of people that are forced out into this tremendous playing field that is littered with these obstacles (tightly packed in some places, sparse in others) that appear to be fashioned from Legos the size of […]
While I’m working from home one day, A. gives me a CD-R of porn vids that she downloaded from all over the P2P networks. All kinds of raunchy, nasty stuff, she says. Or it’s supposed to be. The problem (she says) is that all the video files are corrupt and she wants me to fix […]
We (A. & I) are hanging out with a bunch of friends (maybe about three or four others). There’s some imbibing going on and we’re talking, talking, talking. The discussion is mostly about literature and film and seems to center around titles that are obscure but not necessarily esoteric. The conversation moves toward horror titles […]
Thanks to Cathy over at 802 online for enjoying my December 7th dream enough to run it in this week’s 7 Days. So for those visitors stopping by because you saw it in the paper: Welcome! Here’s a link over to the original post. Feel free to leave me a comment to say you were […]
I’m a laborer on a construction job. It’s a 20-ish story structure of some kind. At this point, we’re finishing up the erection of the metalwork framing (which we’ve managed to do pretty quickly) — and for whatever reasons we’re supposed to put the flooring in from the top down. (So the floor for the […]
I return home to find six 60+ year old women gathered around a table in my kitchen. Each of them has a laptop and is clicking furiously away at something that I can’t quite see yet. When I enter the room they each give me these dirty looks, like I’ve tread somewhere I shouldn’t. I’m […]
I’m hitchhiking out of some city; it’s distant and seems very Wizard of Oz/Emerald City-ish (in as much as it’s on the horizon and the highway races off into the distance Yellow Brick Road-ish; the poppy field scene in reverse). I’m fleeing, escaping, on the run with my thumb out and my head held high. […]
