Mr. Bullet

Last night I dreamt that I was running down the halls, late for work, carrying a stuffed toy armadillo named Mr. Bullet.

There were other elements to the dream.  Mismatched shoes, one of which was a white Chuck.  Police escort of some prisoners.  converse-chuck-taylor-allstar-monochrome-white-leather-1The purchase of tonic water, two bottles, very important.  Chopping up both a credit card and my employee I.D.  Let’s be honest though, all the other elements dim considerably in the cosmic radiance of Mr. Bullet.

I can still feel the fur.  I could draw him for you if my artistic skills weren’t along Order of the Stick caliber.  I can smell the slightly moist dog slobbered scent, and the indelible imprint is there…

…and I want to know why.

The awesome dreams I have had over the decades have been legion.  I fly a lot.  I sit up in bed and click my fingers, saying, “Doom.”  And I’ve been told I can deliver a pretty mean karate chop.  Some of those dreams imprinted, but most slithered away all too soon, as is the custom with such a transient grasp on reality.

I don’t like it.  Plain and simple.  I want control over which dreams walk with me until my grave.  Tall order, I know…but somebody make it happen.  Instead, I’m stuck with Mr. Bullet.  Ahh, who knows, maybe he’ll be flying and wearing white Chucks tonight.
