You said our being together forever was your greatest dream.
I’m somnambulant I said. This won’t work out. We won’t last.
You said you didn’t judge, you’d change for me, become somnambulant too.
I explained that I was dreaming you, and all dreams end upon awakening.
Shh, you said. Sleep.

Very creative.
Thank you.
Brilliant!! I love the word somnambulant… which I had to look up. LOL! :D
Thanks Colleen, glad you liked this.
Always, my friend. Your writing is always something to look forward to.
Not sure if I followed the drift but it’s an intriguing read. ‘all dreams end upon awakening’ is a thought that could keep me awake for ours. ;-)
Maybe you should sleep on it.
Thanks for reading!
I think I’ve met that YOU in one of my dreams. Oh let me sleep so he doesn’t slip away, especially since I dream myself thinner and younger. Great story.
Thanks Sue. Dream on!
Kudos, D! An awesome sleepwalky piece. 50-Word Stories is one of my favorite bookmarks. I’ve been very lucky placing my (13!) pieces there, too: https://eggsovertokyo.blogspot.com/search?q=50+word.
Now I gotta sleepwalk my way back and read your marvelous work again!
You’ve got some fantastic 50 word stories. Thanks for reading mine.
Love this. Great feel to it. Brilliant last line.
Thank you for your kind comments.
SO good! I absolutely love this… You do have a knack, dear D.
Aw, thanks!
:)
