Dream Threads

Back to School

I have a reoccurring dream that I'll only have one time a year. It's a dream about going back to school. Every dream is a little different, but they always follow the same pattern. I show up at school on the first day, thinking everything is going fine. When I get inside the school, I realize I don't have my schedule. I go to one of the office workers and tell them I never recieved my schedule, but they tell me there's nothing they can do about it, that I'll have to figure it out on my own. So the first class starts and I don't know where to go, so I just start walking around the school, until some teacher stops me and asks me why I'm not in class. I tell them the school can't find my schedule and I don't know where to go. We usually end up in some argument, and it ends with me telling them that they're lucky I even stayed in the building, because I didn't even want to come on the first day. I wouldn't say it's much of a dream, but it's not a nightmare either, it's more of an annoyance when I'm trying to enjoy my summer




The Substitute

It was a normal day of school, a very cloudy and rainy day at that. I walk into my first class, chemistry. Almost everyone was already there exept a few kids whose bus was late. Normally, the teacher is already there, but one of the office secretaries says the teacher can't make it, so we have a substitute. But it wasn't just any substitute, it was the worst substitute. One whose eyes glowed red with anger, whose voice made your hair stand on end. The one with the murderous temper and evil gril. A shadow is casted of a figure outside of our door, moving our way. It just keeps getting closer.
