.: The Dream :.
Noooo! He screamed and shot upright in bed.
His heart raced, and he was covered in sweat.
It was just a dream. He told himself. Just a dream.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to relax.
His wife was sound asleep beside him.
It’s just another day, he thought. Everything is OK. It’s OK.
He lay back down, noticing the oranges and reds of the sunrise seeping in through the blinds.
Still trying to shake the fear, he told himself that he would never forget. Never.
His wife rolled over, smiled and kissed him. “Good morning, Sweetie. Happy anniversary.”
Shit.

Awesome! One more time you ended the post brilliantly,
Thanks, Arindam.
Hahaha, that’s fabulous!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Megan. Glad you liked the drabble. Thanks for stopping by my place!
I may or may not have experienced that sort of terror.
I leave it to your Beloved to know the truth.
Hi,
Absolutley brilliant, I just loved the punchline. 🙂
You are too kind – and I greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Mags!
Another winner, LD. You’re amazing.
I’m glad you liked it, Lisa. I had the idea early in the week. As the days passed, I was less thrilled with it.
This was great!
Thanks, Patti. I liked the idea, but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to clearly get the point across. I am glad you liked it.
oh-oh! 😀 Good one!
Hee, hee. Glad you liked it!
Oops, sounds like the dreamer is in deep doo doo.

Yes, I’m afraid he is – unless he thought of an excuse quick. 🙂
Blessings to you, Maxi!
