Resplendent

While I was sleeping...

Carol loves me. Loves me and only me. I'm the happiest man on earth. My happiness towers over everyone else and I proclaim myself king of the world. No one opposes me and I spend all my time with Carol. We sleep in the same bed, and our dreams are of each other. We spend a lifetime together, our love is only surpassed by our happiness. We hug and the universe rejoices, we kiss and the Heavens open up and sing praise, and we make love and the universe is transformed into an ocean of ecstasy.

Scapegoat

A vision I saw watching the backs of my eyelids.

I am a student. Two of my current professors are arguing. A childhood friend of mine, Steve, is in both of their classes. My professors are disappointed in Steve's performance.

"He has such potential, too bad he's so underdeveloped"

"If only he came to office hours, or if he e-mailed me more questions, he could be the best student in the class"

"Such a waste"

I feel sorry for Steve, he's a bright kid. I turn to leave, and realize that they never said Steve's name, and they never addressed me. They were talking about me, and how I wasted my college career. I cried the rest of the dream, hours later I woke up.
