I havenÕt thought about my folks for a while,
so I decided to pull this out:
8.07.36 3:23 am
ÒJohn,Ó Mom said.
ÒWake up, JohnÓ.
I opened my eyes and my mom was sitting by the side of my bed,
but I was in my old room when I was a kid. And she was burnt to a crisp.
ÒTime for school, Johnny,Ó said the charred remains. I screamed and
jumped up, but found myself in my apartment, tonight. I looked at the
side of my bed but there was nothing there.
Man, I hate waking up
in that cold sweat.
