Area Woman Decides To Wake Up Early And Shower, Has All Night Anxiety About It

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that it’s Christmas and I’m typically upset about not receiving any presents. I storm in my room and brood a bit, yell a bit at my neighbors for blasting far-right propaganda from their windows. I know I need to go shower, yet I waste hours playing Pokémon on an old Game Boy Advance. I feel so bad for procrastinating. My brain is like mush.

I finally get up and step in the shower box, I struggle not to just sit down and brood some more. No, I need to concentrate on the task ahead. My grandma is there too (now the shower is the size of a large room with black marble walls), she’s standing on a stool and trying to take a picture from a slit window, she says she wishes her phone had a better camera. Well, I have a better camera!

The ocean is on the other side of the window, blue and shiny and I start taking pictures. Now the shower is an open space on the beach and the walls are bamboo. I feel guilty about leaving the water running, but the sun is setting and I need these pics for my Instagram. Beach goers try to shower and I shoo them away. Two men are painting the wall of a building with Michelangelo’s frescoes, I take picture after beautiful picture. The beach employees are trying to stop me. The water is still running.

Mountain Outing

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I’m with friends and family at our mountain house, we are all sitting around a wooden table. One of the guests is Sharon from FBE, I’m telling her all about my neighbor S. and how he’s like a brother to me. He’s also here with my siblings and they’re all cuddling with kittens, I try to take pictures but my phone layout is all wrong and I don’t know how to fix it.

We see a group of American tourists walking in our vegetable garden and plucking up our food like it’s a quirky, fun thing to do, I hang out from the second floor window and yell but they don’t hear me. I run downstairs and to the garden, I tell them I took pictures of them (a lie, since my phone is messed up). A woman says she’s gonna sue me for that, I say that I’m gonna sue them first for stealing!

Another of our guests is Alex Danvers, she’s my girlfriend but it’s a secret. I feel quite self-conscious comparing myself to her, she’s so gorgeous and I’m chubby, plus my hair has gotten so long since the lockdown started. She assures me I’m beautiful no matter what, then as a romantic gift she transfers a Pokémon to my phone, I don’t know how she managed it since I can’t seem to work my phone at all. I promise her I’ll visit as soon as the travel ban is lifted.

It’s evening and time for our guests to go home, I offer to accompany them. We walk down the mountain path, Alex and I a few steps behind, holding hands and hoping nobody will notice. About halfway to the village we stop at a tiny airport. My guests are going to take a small tourist aircraft, they stand on the landing strip and I can see under the floodlights dozens and dozens of people sick with Covid-19, all lying on stretchers and waiting for their turn to get on the plane.

Some Good Advice

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I have a vague memory of meeting Captain Janeway. She tells me that, when playing Pokémon, most people just rely on brute force instead of strategy. I am definitely guilty of that, but I don’t say it out loud.

An Heartwarming Tale Of Birth

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I’m pregnant, what a magnificent excuse to not go to work! I avidly study the sonogram to find out what my baby will look like. I hope she has big eyes and angelic features.

The doctor says it’s time, we’re gonna induce contraptions in the morning. My mom argues it is not a good enough reason to skip my duties and I should still go to work; but I’m determined to take my chances. I pat my belly adoringly, it’s small and sits too high under my chest. I now know it’s twins.

When the time comes I give birth to, in order: a few yellow earplugs, some socks, and most importantly my twins, which are a couple of Pokémon, one white and fluffy and one blue and angry. They are so small they can sit on the palm of my hand. Mom rolls her eyes, I argue that at least some of the stuff I gave birth to is useful!
