Dreams

"Father! Father!" A young boy shouted

running across the room and his father

reading his news paper puts it down saying
"Yes Will ,what is it?"

"Father , you said you would continue the story from yesterday"

The father in turn says "oh yes boy and now where did I stop"

The boy excitedly sits down saying" something about the gods talking to the young warrior"

"Oh yes, must seem I'm getting old if I can't remember such" he says laughing

"Now" he continues "so the warrior stands before the gods questioning them and the reply in kind"

""Young warrior! Do you have any idea the chaos brought about you....humans" said the gods in disgust"

"you humans have immense power in the dream realm thinking......." The god stopped

"Let me tell you a story" he says

"We begin......in the waking world

Which humanity insists on calling it the real world

As if your dreams have no effect upon the very choices you make

You mortals go about.........

Your work.....your loves.......your wars as if your waking lives are all that matters

But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes.......and enter my realm

Thinking it's just a dream.....there are

looting,murders ,raping and all sort of evils

that you humans unleash on the dreaming........you do all and more all while

believing it has no consequences and these

all ends now!!" Said the god"

The father says closing the book in his hands and looks at his son fast asleep and smiles

He looks up and at his wife looking back and she says " when are you gonna tell him the truth?"

The father's smile drops and he sighs saying "soon dear.....soon"

The wife heaves a heavy sigh and says "sooner or later he's gonna start asking questions about others like us"

"Just.......make sure it's not too late" the wife says picking up the young boy and leaves.
