Dream Horror

Dream Horror
As soon as I realized that I was in the Boy’s Bathroom, I tried to beat a hasty retreat but in my panic, I dropped Crackers’s harness and began to feel along the wall for the way out. The walls were cold and clammy and I kept running into the urinals. They began to come closer and surround me, Closer and closer they came with an angry warning buzz. One bent to touch my cheek. It was cold and wet.
My mind sprang awake as my heart continued to thud loudly in my chest. It took a moment for it to register that my buzzer alarm was going off and that Crackers had stuck her wet nose into my cheek. I wiped off the slime and gave my friendly dog a big hug as the radio continued with the oldie, moldy refrain about ‘the darkest hour is just before dawn’.
