Well, that was unexpected

I’m not quite sure how one goes back to sleep after having a dream of an old classmate throat slash himself in the kitchen, prompting a mad dialing of emergency services you know will arrive too late to do anything for him.

It was a far more graphic and visceral experience than most of my dreams. And I admit, I can have some real doozies. Usually, the gore is suggested. This dream was “in full Technicolor” and detailed.

I’m half-expecting to read something about him in the local news, it was so vivid. The other part is “don’t be absurd, J would never do anything like that.”

Except, my brain reminds me, that’s exactly the kind of thing he’d do if he wanted a ticket out of here.

As I said, I’m not sure how one goes back to sleep after a dream like that.

    Perhaps it’s time to contact him.

      Normally, I would agree. However, it’s probably best that I don’t.

      I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve carried him only for him to run off and leave me behind when the crisis is past to hang out with the folks who are much cooler than I. And he’s the kind of guy who attracts crises. Big ones, usually.

      But blood brothers and all that, right?

      Too bad it took me thirty years to realize it was all one-sided. I’m tired of being burned.

      So, no. I probably won’t check in.
