Memories
A dream
I once saw A man selling his dream for one dollar. I bought it. The next day the man died.

maybe it's an accidental accent, shock, or why EMT's are always so handsome.

July 2019
it's searing and bone protruding
eyes blinded, bloody
shards of glass and encroaching fear
red, blue, and yellowish-white lights blur
a language I can't quite understand
or an accent maybe
cold, so cold - like Ohio, when I was small
Am I frozen?
Maybe I was dreaming of long ago...?
Then I tried to move
my legs work, my fingers move
my arms and head
wait, wait. .... not my head
why can't I move my....
My FACE
only partly, I try to talk
shock was setting in, I could tell
I've experienced it one other time...
It's like when you close your eyes
but can still see the sunlight behind them
darkness starts to seal out reality
I need to calm down..be calm and breathe
I could see a bit of movement at my right—
the look of abject horror
on a complete strangers face
or Jensen Ackles' face ?
what's Dean doing here?
even steeped
in a new look of determined terror
just. so. hot.
like an archangel
and there was that screaming again
so LOUDLY!
Oh, just be quiet,
we're all trying to sleep here...
His voice was so annoying and nonstop
I wanted to yell
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
I tried to scream "Just ANSWER HIM!!!"
to get it to stop
when I focused again,
from my darkened side of "internal sunshine"
there it was again
that annoying voice, again.. and again
now it seemed, it was attached
to Jensen/Dean's face
the annoying screaming guy, (Dean)
he was talking to me
me?
why me?
I'm just comfortably resting and waiting
for the sun to warm me
So tired, so so very tired
I'm tired beyond measure
I don't think I've ever been more tired in my life
I'll just close my eyes for a bit...

Thank you so much to all of you who participated in the competition. Your entries are all awesome and you have shared such enjoyable reads. Quite difficult to judge, really. All are winners in my opinion. This competition was judged by two of my non-DU friends and me. The winners are MidnightSonneteer for April 5th, 1972, Rew for The Carr Academy I, and The Secret by Wallyroo92.
The spoken words are very impressive. I hope you join my next competition that will focus on this presentation.
