The Dinner Guests

I devour, I savour

foggy nights, shrimp scampi, Mcdonald’s french fries and good books.

I savour good jokes, the scent of freshly carved Halloween pumpkins and artwork that triggers something in my brain and I start to hear music.

I savour winter storms, lightening storms and the roar of the Ocean when the water begins to bubble and churn because something is happening out there or under there that we can’t see until it’s too late.

Above all I savour conversations that  wake my muses from their quiet and dreamless sleep and we dine together

by darkness.

That One Time

WP Prompt: If you could erase one event from history, what would it be?

If I could erase one moment from history, and I’ll stick with my own –  I’d erase the very first time I said ” I’m sorry ” for what I said or did, not because I was wrong but I wanted to make the other person feel better.

That moment taught me to knuckle under for anyone who may have been upset because I was right and they were wrong.

You May Kiss Your Bride

 When the minister told Fabian Calderon that he could now kiss his bride,

he softly lifted the veil from her face, he set it gently along the top of her head and along her shoulders and when he leaned forward for his kiss, 

she bared her teeth, she took him by his neck

and she kissed him once and  then chewed at his face and neck until his head popped off of his shoulders.

His headless corpse fell at  her feet and holding his head by the hair on top of his head she promised to love him

until death parted them…which happened at exactly 3:oopm on April 4th.

Dream A Little Dream

WP ask What’s a conspiracy theory you actually find believable?

The one like the best is the one about how dreams tie into the Multiverse theory.

I don’t think this conspiracy theory is actually believable, this one just happens to be the one I find the most entertaining.

The only thing that I would consider a plot hole in this theory is that if the subconscious mind is a receiver, who is the transmitter? Or are we both? And if so, how does that work?

The idea just tickles me.

Who is the original ‘dreamer?’ Someone suffering from schizophrenia? A dog fast asleep on the foot of a bed? Or maybe the demon in Poe’s ” The Raven ” is the original dreamer. That would explain a lot:

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Multiverse Leaks: A common speculative viewpoint treats the subconscious mind not as a creator of images, but as a receiver. Proponents think vivid dreams let people tune into alternate universes, past lives, or parallel versions of themselves
