Sorry I’ve been remiss in my posting lately, but life sometimes beckons me away from this blogging thing. I just wanted to let you know that I had a short-short story published today over at Six Sentences called “Wake Up Weight.”
And a tidbit of background information for you: I actually woke up a few weeks ago and felt like someone was sitting next to me. It was weird, but I’m glad for brain misfires, because creativity bounds in those awkward, “Am I awake or am I dreaming?” moments.
More soon, I promise.
Did you know waking up with a weight on you, unable to move, is what nightmares are/were? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare
Agree with the commenters–an evocative piece 🙂
I did not know that! Wow, you learn something everyday. =)
And thanks. I’m glad you liked it. I seem to do better with these micro stories. Now, if only I could get my longer fiction in line.
Kaolin is right. I kicked the hell out of my dog once because I woke up and he(40 lbs) was sprawled across my legs. It was an unconscious move for the most part but i felt bad afterwards. It was just so freaky to wake up and not be able to put your feet on the floor.
