_Now sit back and watch the story unfold With the fair Juliet and her Romeo_ &quot;I had a dream that I was pregnant, and everyone knew but you.&quot; &quot;Oh yeah, why didn't I know?&quot; he asked, not really paying attention to the conversation. &quot;I don't know, but you were the only one, and you were mad at me the whole dream because I wouldn't do anything that would harm the baby and you didn't know what my problem was...&quot; The words came out in a rush, and then trailed off, leaving me unsure and not wanting to finish. Trying to block out reality, all the while knowing this had to end, and certainly couldn't end well, I started humming. _Two young lovers with one heartbeat_... &quot;I think the real Juliet had it going for her,&quot; I sighed, already sick of his inane dialogue. &quot;Oh yeah, why is that?&quot; &quot;Because she and Romeo shared a night, and it didn't come back to slap them in the face.&quot; &quot;Good for them,&quot; a light dawned in his eyes, &quot;Wait- you mean-&quot; &quot;That everyone knows but you.&quot; 2007-09-28T22:02:27Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/9642 <p>very nice! agree with musicxhearted and kermitgorf and probly everyone else&#8230;very nice!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=14901 2007-09-28T22:02:27Z blueyedwonder http://ficlets.com/authors/blueyedwonder <p>Nice, I liked it a lot.

I wound up writing a novella because of an odd dream, so I&#8217;m all for using nightly visions as a source! And really, Yoda, yikes.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12958 2007-09-19T13:46:08Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>Nicely written ficlet &#8211; this is what it&#8217;s all about. I&#8217;ve been tempted to write stories about dreams I&#8217;ve had as well &#8211; my dreams are too strange to write about though. The last one was about a race war in Chicago.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12951 2007-09-19T12:28:12Z YodaOnCrack http://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrack <p>thanks! i had this dream, and it freaked me out just enough to write a ficlet (nope- still not pregnant though, not for a long, long time)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12936 2007-09-19T03:45:51Z FlirtingWithaBrickWall http://ficlets.com/authors/sanitytookaholiday <p>better pregnant then dead&#8230; good ficlet, very contemporary</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12933 2007-09-19T03:38:54Z SKermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>Good use of subtext here.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12929 2007-09-19T03:13:12Z BARomero http://ficlets.com/authors/baromero <p>we just finished reading romeo and juliet toda in my english honors class. how different the story would have been if juliet had gotten pregnant&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12922 2007-09-19T02:54:37Z MissJonas1492 http://ficlets.com/authors/princesssister <p>A Change of Pace- Prepare the Masses</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/9642?basename=12921 2007-09-19T02:48:53Z FlirtingWithaBrickWall http://ficlets.com/authors/sanitytookaholiday
