Dreams and Eternal Mist
Man, I’ve been having some random dreams lately. A few nights ago I had a dream that I was with Will Smith’s wife (in the dream the lady I was with was referred to as being his wife). I guess because my mind didn’t know her name. In the dream we were shopping in some mall. Then there was another scene when I’m driving a bug car off a beach cliff and I land safely on the beach. Then we decided we didn’t want to go to the beach anymore, so we left. As we tried to leave, a bunch of people holding signs advertising stuff tried to surround the car, annoying us like pop-up ads.
As for today, I had a dream I was making a short horror comedy movie and my actors were real monsters. I remember it was going to be a two day shoot. It was near Halloween and that’s why I wanted to make the movie. As I tried to recall what the movie was about, things weren’t adding up. Why? Well, in the dream we just made up stuff as we went. I remember a scene with some old shack and a guy was trying to hide out in it only to run into more monsters. I think my brain wants me to make a random horror movie. It sounds like a good idea to me!
With all of this talk about horror stories, I figured it’s time that I share another short story of mine. Eternal Mist is a story I wrote back in my junior year in high school. I had this memory of the story being one of my great story stories, but when I went back to re-edit it, it wasn’t as great as I thought it was. Maybe I’ll do a total rewrite to it someday, but for now I leave it in it’s classic form with a few mistakes fixed.
