Question of the day.

     As I ate my lunch today at work, a co-worker sat down beside me and saw the cover of the book that I'm currently reading.
     "Don't you ever have nightmares?" She asked.
     I laughed. "Yes. I do. But they have nothing to do with monsters." I replied. "I dream of vampires, werewolves, and zombies all the time. But they are not nightmares. Usually I am trying to help them, or in some cases, they are trying to help me."
     She laughed. "If I read books like that, I would have nightmares all the time."
     "I don't have nightmares often," I told her. "but when I do it's a reoccurring one, and it's scary as hell to me. It's so simple, people laugh when I tell them. I dream that I am living in my old mobile home, and it will suddenly dawn on me that I don't live there anymore, and I'll try to leave but I can't. Either the door won't open or someone is stopping me. Then I realize that I am dreaming (look up lucid dreaming, I do it often) and then I will myself to wake up. It's whole concept of being trapped, that freaks me out, not vampires, zombies, or any other kind of monsters."

     Another side conversation of the day. The other person found it comical, but I was dead serious. Just goes to strengthen his accusation.
     "You really are weird you know." He said.
     "Yes, but it's better than the alternative." I replied.
     "And what is that?" He asked.
     "Being normal."

Have pleasant vampire, werewolf, and zombie dreams. www.authorcvhunt.comwww.authorcvhunt.com
