huh, interesting… I had to look up ‘beatnik’ and ‘cagaret’ but this has a nice flow to it just the same =)

I love how your writing extends my vocabulary! I didn’t know what a beatnik was, either. You capture the feeling of a dream in this really well…

OMG , as someone who grew up during the beatnik era I’m amazed that people never heard of them, but on the other hand that was 30 years ago. Very good story, u have my attention.

hmm so the cabaret singer was just a ruse, a sort of opening act for the real dream? If so, then, where’s the actual content? ;)

Actually, this is a snippet from a larger project. I’m not sure I’ll post any more of the dream itself. Just wanted to sort of throw a bit of the writing out there for a spot quality check. Thanks for the fun comments.

No! Put more, put more! You’ve got us hooked!
At least, just a teeny bit more? Pretty please?

THX – descriptive and well structured. I think a lot of people can identify having recurring dreams, and this feels like it could be an actual one, whether fictional or not. Too bad we don’t get to find out what’s behind the curtain.

Good to know we can still dream, even in undeath. I like the sequel, too. Something about juxtaposing the idea of a nice vampire-like mood piece with Monte Python imagery has me hooked. Send us more!
