once did.


Journal Entry  10/29

Whew!!  What a  dream I just had.  Well, I hope it  was a dream!
It all began with a  phone call...

'Hey, wanna do  I fish fry?'  I heard through the  static of a bad  
connection.

"Hmmm.. food!  I'm in!  Masquerade   party too?  Woohoo... ya'll need a few 
more witches, eh?"   Snatching  my broom on the way out the door I went!

What a crowd!  The Grim Reaper  kept watch at the Crypt, a ghostly (and 
ghastly)  looking gathering place.  Goblins and ghoulies, witches and 
ghosts,  
even a vulture or two (sick puppies in  this group I think), were  
scattered 
around.  Pumpkin faces in tortured  grimace perched on  poles shed sallow 
light, 
flickering ghoulishly. 

I was   beginning to second guess myself... had my friends all fallen into 
the  land of  weird?  

Some harpy began cackling 'We need more  witches!  It's  almost time!'  I 
was then grabbed by a  devilish trickster who snickered,  'You heard her... 
we 
need more  witches!'  I was aghast at being  witch-handled this way!  How  
dare they!

I twisted and turned,  wincing when my foot struck  the claw-footed 
cauldron.  A cascade of flour  was tossed at me,  on me, around me.. what 
is going 
on? Was that me  yelling?   "What are you doing? Stop that! Dusting me with 
 
flour?'

"Oh,  my pretty, we are preparing the 'witch fry'!" the harpy   cackled.

The whaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt????

"No! No! It's a  FISH  fry!  A FISH fry I tell you!" And yes that was me 
yelling  as I ran... and  ran... and ran!


Whew... I woke in a cold  sweat!  I'm not sure if  it was something I ate 
or 
something I  read or something weird I watched on TV  but I will never do 
whatever  again!!  I rolled out of bed and went to get  something to  
drink.  I 
came back and it was then I saw the floured   footprints....

It was a dream.... 

Wasn't it?  I  mean,  really, wasn't it???

Until later... (I'm vacuuming up my  dream  now)
