Terrible I tell you
Not a single comment on any of my posts in over 10 weeks now. Guess I started getting too weird for everyone...

Another dream
Why? Mostly 'cause it gets it off my chest and also because I haven't posted anything in a little while. Before I start I would like to post a link though. Intrusive Thoughts are something that everyone experiences from time to time. There are those, however, who have extremely vivid thoughts or who have trouble dismissing them or accepting them. The page itself is not nearly as helpful as the comments by visitors. If you have intrusive thoughts and feel helpless or alone in experiencing them check out the user comments at that site.
So I found myself with some time to kill sitting at a table in Charlie's restaurant. I had a while before I had to get back from lunch so I treated myself to a protracted hallucination.
At first I see a wooden post. Then at the base of the post a shape comes into focus. The shape is a cartoon like drawing of fire. As I see the fire my perspective pans upward and pulls back just a little. I see that the post is a cross and that flames are rising from the arms and top of the cross.
Just as I see all this a little boy around 11 years old leans in from the left. He has fair skin and glasses and his bangs are brushed into a high "wave" shape. He leans back out after only a split second.
Now my view pulls back some more and I see that the cross is a painting on the wall and the boy is standing in front of it. He takes a match and lights fire to the lower right corner of the picture and watches as it starts to burn. After it has burned the corner off of the picure he cuts the burning section off with a pair of scissors.
The burning corner falls to the floor where it ignites the carpet and part of the wall. The fire burns very hot and fast as if there is an accelerant involved. The fire burs so quickly in fact that there is a 4 foot wide swath of fire with only decimated ash in its wake. As the fire takes hold of the room I see the boy sitting on the floor with his back against the left wall. His left knee is drawn up while his right leg is extended and he is reading a book.
The flames engulf him entirely in a matter of seconds (he doesn't even move) and as they pass over him his body crumbles into a pile of ash in their wake.
Then I open my eyes, take a sip of my soda and head off to the Home Depot to wander around before resuming my post at the paint desk for another 3 hours.
