[Harlene's Apartment] Pleasant Nightmares

Jun 21, 2005 04:13

Harlene falls asleep on her keyboard, a long line of gibberish following the last sentence she had managed on her paper. It was something about madness being the touch of God...she would surely change it when she edited her work in the morning. As she drifted deeply into sleep, Foamy the squirrel ranted his complaints about society in the background.

Dr. Quinzel fell into fitful sleep. A sleep of nightmarish dreams filled with blood and death and terrible laughter, but also with a burning passion she had never imagined. It was glorious. She stared into the eyes of her lover...her beloved and he smiled wickedly at her. It was frightening and wonderful all at once...and then he pulled a switchblade. Fine. She had a knife of her own. Each was just as quick as the other and two blades sank deep into two hearts. Harlene and her love fell to the ground, their blood pumping quickly from their wounds. They lay there dying..and they laughed, as though nothing had ever been funnier or more marvelous.

She shot to quickly awake that it was almost painful. Thirty minutes...that's all that had past...thirty minutes. There was no way she could continue her writing now. Even if there was time.
