Jeff was taking the long path leading to his house. Unlike lisa, he was a guy and he didn't have any problem with walking all the way to Home. Home!! Was it wise to go there and stay alone with all the weird 22 things happening to him ?? Would he see the same guy in his nightmares for the next nights? Jeff kept wondering while walking . Should he call his parents ? Naaaah !! he laughed , and some people in the street gave him like death glares. My parents ??!! Really ??!! He was repeating it to show himself that he was fully independant and that he didn't need them.
Jeff arrived to his house and laid in front of the wide plasma screen in the living room. He took one of his DVDs that were arranged in a huge pile next to the wide TV. First blood ! Sylvestre Stallone did well in this movie and it wasn't a waste of time to re-watch it again.
He watched the violent scenes with wide opened eyes . He did want to have other nightmares than the one he's been seeing every night. He did want to dream about killers and smugglers and wild missionnaries in a foreign field, but not about The mysterious guy, neither about a 22 .
The movie ended. And Jeff wasn't satisfied. He stood up and made his way to the kitchen. He made himself a bowl of hot popcorn, and warmed some pizza leftovers. He heard that eating too much before sleeping is a good way to have DIFFERENT nightmares during one night. He went to bed with his food on a plate. He took a novel. Dracula of Bram Stocker. He kept reading and reading and then without noticing, he fell asleep...
