The Alternatives.

Posted in: Dreams

I opened my eyes.  It was 5:53.  Enough time to close them again, not enough time to really sink into sleep, which was what I wanted to do.  Someone presented me with a folded slip of paper.  I unfolded it, there were three headings: “Benign” “Region” and “Option”.  It was describing my alternatives.  None of them seemed really pleasant, the best of them seemed to be the one where I was a hostage in a Middle Eastern country.  “It’s still better than getting up for work,” I thought to myself.  “How glad I am that this is an option!”  Then my alarm went off.

    Aww! The very next day, I opened my eyes and saw it was 5:49. Now that was a nice chunk of time, a whole decade of minutes. Someone came up to me and stuck the minutes onto the ends of my fingers, where I nibbled them off until it was time to ge up. They were blue and made of pastry.

    There is apparently a word for this.
