I keep having this dream, that I’m stalking a deer. I’m not human, though. In the dream. In real life I am a human. Just a normal person, going through a divorce and all that. So I guess right now this dream is the most interesting thing about me. I used to be interesting. Then I got married. Anyways, in the dream I’m a monster. I think. I always leap towards the buck and the second my jaws snap down on his neck, I feel hot gushing blood and then- I wake up. It probably doesn’t mean anything though, right?
