I liked the very first story the best of those...
When your motivations are all that simple then one can be sure about your depth been so complex.
You know they say if you die in a dream, you wake up dead in real life.
In my case it was a shotgun blast to the chest while trying to escape from captivity.
Flash of light, red out, fade to black.
It was actually quite a relief.
('Course, I was still married at the time)...
Here's the creepy part:
My step daughter had written two short stories before she died.
I found this out after I'd written Tales I and II.
Her two short stories, one dealt with a guy being kidnapped and found stabbed to death.
The second one dealt with the point of view of someone dying from a car accident with their car laying next to a creek.
She died in a car accident next to a creek.
I'm going to be careful of what strangers I assist.
Hmm, I don't see myself as beign complex.
Butthat's probably due to me looking at things from my side of my eyes.
Oh, that IS creepy, darks.
And I'm very sorry about your step-daughter....that's very sad. She must have been very young.
Yowch.
Probably dreamed due to the aforeimplied 'she who is displeased.'
She wasn't the one with the shotgun, was she?
Can't say I'm surprised.
Not exactly...
She was 19.
Her 24th Birthday was this past Sunday.
So I've been pre-occupied to an extent as well lately.
When she was alive, I had a dream about being in a foxhole in the middle of a field and my combat buddy was a talking muskrat wearing a helemt while chewing on a stogie.
Out of the blue in the dream my step-daughter wanders up and asks if I'd like some tea.
I say yes, and then ask her what the heck she was doing in the dream, and she says, "I dunno, it's YOUR dream."
Next day, without me saying anything to her, she asks, "What were you doing in a foxhole with a talking muskrat?"
Like I said, I keep expecting Rod Serling to show up.
Can't say that surprises me either.
If I had access to the stories she wrote, I'd copy them and post them with their dates of composure on the top.
She'd written both of them early in 2000 for school before she graduated.
I'm still creeped out by them.
Damm, so young.
OH.
It was more a dream proxy for her.
LOL, Of course, somebody COULD walk in suddenly and tell me that all of this is just a simulation.
That everything I've exprienced was merely computer generated, and that even I am not 'real' in the normal 'human' sense.
*chuckle*
But that only happens in Infocom text adventures.
that is totally bizarre, darks!
Not for Darks...
My brother also died at the age of 19; I'm very sorry for your loss. That is so young.
