A Look inside Dreams Implant: Chapter-1

Chapter 1

It was a cold winter night with heavy snowfall.
A Mercedes E class, being driven at a high speed with its
fog lights shining, appeared in the dark street... Suddenly,
a hairpin bend approached. The driver saw the bend at
the last moment, but lost his control over the vehicle..
The car skid on the snow-covered road and
rammed into a tree. Due to the sudden halt, the woman
in the passenger seat was thrown on the windscreen,
which smashed, and the woman crashed into the tree.
There was blood gushing from her veins which splashed
the bonnet followed with a blood curdling cry.
The driver watched in horror at the lifeless body
of the woman.. He saw the beautiful face spattered with
blood all over.
He screamed “ALEXIS……………”
David’s eyes opened and he saw himself on his
bed sweating. He bolted upright and let his eyes roam

around at the setting of his bedroom. His roving eyes
rested on the sleeping figure beside him. Her shoulder
length hair was dark with golden highlights, she had
big eyes which were closed in a blissful sleep. Her face
was beautiful accentuated by big pouty lips. She was
wearing diamond studs in her ears.
His gaze lowered and saw her beautiful neck
resting on her well-rounded shoulders, his eyes rested
on her well-formed breasts which were naked as the
covers had slipped from her breasts, they were slowly
heaving with her shallow breath.
In his eyes, she was the perfect specimen of
God’s creation; slowly the reality dawned to him. He
was looking at the figure of his lovely wife Alexis, who
was sleeping blissfully beside him, looking beautiful
and radiant as ever.
His lips moved in silent prayer, as he thanked
God that she was alive and was beside him.
Then a strange uneasiness gripped him, it was
the same nightmare which occurred now on a regular
basis. The same dream of watching his wife dying in
front of him because of his fault and he was helplessly
stuck between the seat belt and the airbag of the car,
unable to move or prevent his wife from falling out of
the windscreen of the car.
He got up from the bed, caught hold of his
dressing gown from the side table, put it on and walked
out of his bedroom and silently closing the door behind
him.
He made his way to the kitchen and got himself
a soda can. He sipped soda while trying to make himself

comfortable on a dining table chair.
His mind was in turmoil because of the recurring
dream which he had been having from the past few
weeks. Surprisingly, every time his eyes opened at the
same point.
He was a logical person, who always had solutions
to every problem. But, this dream baffled him as his
mind couldn’t process the information to a logical
conclusion which upset him as this was very unlike of
him. He was always in control of the situations. He was
never at a loss of word or an idea. That was the reason,
he, at 41, was running the most successful Advertising
Agency in Madison Square, New York.
His competitors used to envy, not only his
success, but his mind and business acumen.
It was a popular saying in his office that what
David could envision, no one else could.
David Bowman started his advertising career as
a trainee just after graduating from the college. He was
a part of the middle-level Advertising Agency which
used to handle some decent accounts.
The agency was owned by Mrs Angie Smith, who
herself was a veteran in the industry, and was known
for backing fresh talent.
She offered David a job during his internship
days as she saw a part of herself in him. David didn’t
disappoint her, he worked hard in knowing every
nuances of the business.
He was never shy of taking initiative nor did he
restrict himself with the job assigned to him. He was
a keen learner and had a charming personality, which

helped him in getting along not only with his colleagues
but, with other people in different departments. Thus,
this characteristic helped him gain friends everywhere
and made his learning process easy because of his easy
going and helpful nature.
During the first year of his job, he helped his
agency to bag some prestigious accounts which catapulted
him into the limelight in the industry. Also, some of the
campaign he planned, were recognised by the adverting
world and helped his team win prestigious awards
across the globe. After staying for twelve years with his
company in that period, he was promoted several times
and finally he became the Vice-President (Planning).
He took an elevator to the 11th floor which was the
office of Mrs Smith, once he alighted from the elevator,
he found himself standing in front of a big lounge which
was elegantly decorated with a white wall-to-wall carpet,
red walls decorated with Renaissance Era paintings, pots
with green plants and in the far corner of the room was
a big mahogany table. Behind it, sat a pretty woman
around 35 years, furiously typing on her keyboard with
her eyes locked on the computer screen in front of her.
She was immaculately dressed in a white blouse
and a black jacket with a knee length skirt and 3” heels
visible from the gap in front of the table. Her blond hair
was neatly tied in a bun. Her face adorned a maroon
lipstick, black eye shadow making her already big
eyes more highlighted, she had a smooth skin with
an appropriate light make up, and she was Stacy, Mrs.
Smith’s secretary.
She had been with her for fifteen years and Mrs.

Smith trusted her immensely.
David approached the desk and in a nice voice
said, “Hey, beautiful.”
Stacy’s eyes left the screen and saw a handsome
man in front of her. Her face broke into a dazzling smile.
She used to like David the most among everyone
else who worked in the agency. He was a perfect gentleman
and used to go out of the way to help others. She still
remembered, how a few years back, he helped her son
Jay to get into the basketball team in High School by
regularly practicing with him even with his tight schedule.
She looked at him and said, “Hi, handsome
what brings you here. I don’t remember Angie saying
anything about meeting you.”
“No, I don’t have any prior appointment with her.”
“Then, what brings you here?”
“To tell you the truth, I have decided to quit.
That’s why I am here to inform her personally of my
decision.”
Her face showed concern and sadness, “Why?
Everything alright? How come all of a sudden you took
this decision?”
He (laughed), “No, everything is fine, just wanted
to start something of my own.”
She became excited and genuine happiness
showed on her face.
“Oh! That’s brilliant. I knew you would go far. But,
I am sad I would not be able to see this happy face daily.”
“Don’t worry, if everything goes as planned, I
would steal you from Angie. But, at the moment I will
not be able to afford you.”

She smiled, “Oh! So sweet of you. Wait, I will
inform her that you are here.”
Stacy got off the phone and looked at him
smilingly, “Go. She is waiting. Will miss you David.”
“Me too”, with this he strode towards the brown
teak door which was the office of Mrs. Angie Smith.
