Jim was a little disoriented when he woke up that morning. It wasn't totally unprecedented for him to wake up in unfamiliar surroundings, but he usually had at least some shadow of a memory of how he got there.
"Where am I?" he groaned quietly, to himself. Instinctively, he reached out and his hand found his glasses on a desk by the bed.
His vision now clear, Jim took a good look around the room. It was a familiar room. He realized, suddenly, that he had lived in this room ten years ago. It made no sense; how could he be in his college dorm room? The building had been demolished in 2004. Stranger still, how did his stuff get back here?
"Must be dreaming," he thought. Jim hated these flashback dreams. They always ended in some inane twist like showing up for class naked or having to take an exam in a class he'd never attended. He wasn't in the mood for any of it, so he took his glasses off and settled back into bed.
THWAP! A battered paperback copy of Webster's New World Dictionary impacted with his head.
"Ow," he said, rubbing his head. "What the hell?"

Congratulations on posting the 200!
ReplyDeleteIs your next post of 200 going to be on the same story? (We hope so.)
I like the is-it-a-dream-is-it-not feel.
Thanks. Yes, the next installment will be the same story.
ReplyDelete"We hope so"? Only royalty and crazy people refer to themselves using the royal "we". Which are you? :)
