Today's #flashfiction #LovedInWakeFearedInDreams

“I'd like to thank all the little people.”
Snow White* #quote



      Today I went to my writers club and it was fun. Also possibly CJ may come over. In addition I almost created a device to make the world into a living musical but I put the batteries in backwards and it short circuited and blew up.



Loved In Wake, Feared In Dreams


      Waldon loved birds in the day. He loved them more than anything. He photographed them for hours and fed them in the park. He researched them. He kept them as pets. He knew everything he could about them, enough to fill his brain to the brim. Just seeing one, even a ratty pigeon on the street, would bring a smile to his face.
      But every night he would have horrible nightmares about birds. They would attack and hunt him down. The dream would always be the same. He would be in a gray city. A city made of clay. And the birds would fly through it chasing and attacking him. He would keep running and they would keep pecking away and clawing at him. He never was more scared than during those dreams.
      Yet he still loved them during them the day and he didn't know why. Psychiatrists couldn't figure it out. They wondered. They tried and nothing would get rid of the nightmares. He would love birds and they would chase him all the same. It hated that none of their methods would get rid of the fear in the night. But in the end Waldon felt content with it all if the birds were his loved friends in the day.
