variations

Good day,

Last night, a slight variation. Reclined in the passenger seat of a massive steamroller, I, through the fact that I am contained in the great vehicle, the hulking craft being driven, am guided by a silent, shapeless figure named, judging by the placard on the dashboard, Jawa. The ride is very smooth. I am not a passenger of the rolling beast. My left side is methodically and callously crushed flat, toe to scalp, and my right side inflates like a cartoonish balloon. After the weight of the steamroller leaves me, I drift up. Half pancake, half balloon. Below, I can see the diminishing machinery plowing slowly onward.

Strange, no?

Emergent

Hello,

I have recently had a recurring dream, wherein I am walking. I am on a road, and this road is filled with people. My meandering, purposeless course invariably swerves into and then never leaves the oncoming lane of traffic. The road is empty of cars, save one ambulance parked in the distance, facing me. Curious, and conveniently amnesiac about prior nights, I approach. As the shadowy figure nears, it becomes painfully evident that the ambulance was never parked. I am hit in my left shoulder, and spun around to watch the ambulance speed off, silently.

Strange, yes?
