as i slowly drifted in and out of a sweet slumber, i realized that i wasnt alone...i was being watched. i sat up fully alert and awake.my muscles tensed as i frantically looked around to find nothing but my clothes on the floor and Tylonol on my nightstand. i grasped the Tylonol and threw it back in my mouth and swallowed.my head throbbed and i felt like i might vomit.my vision blurred and i sank back down into the soft heap of my blankets and pillows.my eyes drifted closed and everything was lost...but only for a while... i woke to shrill screaming.i couldnt figure out who it was and then i discovered that it was me.i thought that i *must* have had a nighmare.so i shrugged it off and swung my aching legs out of bed.i dragged myself down the hall only to find coffee already brewing...i stood there before the coffee and i slowly drank in the aroma.it was calling my name.i poured it down the sink and put another pot on. as i drank my new coffee i got ready. i left my house and went to work puzzled. http://ficlets.com/feed/story/24866
