Er . . . judgment day?

So, here's an odd little snippet of dream.
There was a large stone statue of a person, which included this person holding a large basket-like object, upside-down, creating a sort of cage if it were dropped. A bit like that thing in the Mousetrap board game. Yeah. I was checking out the big statue, which naturally included standing under this cage-thing, because it was cool and amusing, and I mean, it's not like it's a risk, because hey, statue.

Except that the giant stone statue was operated by a little sentient mouse that pushed a button and trapped me in the cage. XD

Then he asked me if I had done anything of any real value to society or the world at large, and if I had, he would let me free. And if I hadn't then he'd eat me. He explained he put this question to all the humans he trapped as prey. And that most could not really think of anything.

When people begged for freedom he would laugh at them.

"Relax," he'd say,

"The world will go on spinning with or without you. Your greatest contribution to this planet was always going to be no more than merely becoming a small snack for a large predator. Or a large snack for a small predator, I suppose, in this case."

Kind of an odd way to wake up in the morning, but it does motivate you to try and accomplish something that day, I suppose. :oP
