Elbow snakes and lawn gnomes

Postby revsleestaxx on Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:38 pm

It was in the middle of the night and I woke drenched in sweat. I had another one of those dreams were the zombies are after me and they all look like old dead friends.

My best girl did not stir so I must not have been screaming this time.

I lifted my feet over the edge of the bed to get up and fuck me if the room was not filled with water. Not spring water either but black brackish swamp water. The smell of rotting dead vegetation was tremendous.

I turned to wake my lover, but now I see she why she was not stirring because she was dead, her cold eyes staring at the ceiling like so many other nights making love.

I lifted my hand to my mouth and there I saw it, a freaking snake or something and it was at least three feet long and growing from my elbow. I leaped from the bed making a huge splash. I ran like a clown in the water to the bathroom.

I flicked the light switch. Sparks flew from the switch plate, but in that quick instant in the flash of orange light I saw the snake writher and turn to face me. I saw it’s eyes and TEETH the freaking goddamn snake had teeth and huge sharp gnarly fangs.

In a panic I turned to hide my face from that hideous sight on my elbow and slipped on the half floating bathroom rug. As I went under water I saw that freaking gnome from my neighbor’s yard.

What the hell is it doing here? I thought.

He turned and smiled at me. Yeah the lawn gnome smiled, AT me.

Holy Jesus this is too weird. I thought.

And then I really woke up covered in blood and my girlfriend yelling my name.

I looked around at the blood and then I found I had picked this wart off my finger.

You know Rev, your stories bring a smile to my face. They are like urban street story bombs, each one blasting you with a weird flash of someone else's life.

Well you certainly don't write here like a typical English major. So someone who wants to see that format will be disappointed. But you bring another style to the table.

I'd ask what the book were, but then I'd have to learn 5 languages.

"Like a monkey with a handgun" and "With a Mouthful of razorblades" i took the foreign language copies down no-one was interested and they just cluttered the page. i just like to say 5 languages. !)
