The Killing Thing.......



I had a dream the other night. It was the most perplexing thing. I actually slept. All the way through the night, in fact. A really rare thing for me.



While I slept, I dreamt first of my great uncle. This wasn't the man that I knew, and wish I still did. This was a character from some movie or something. He had secret cookies he'd share with me.
