The brunette met me in the lounge of the hotel that TJ and I were staying at in London. TJ said, “Seeya later mate, I’ve got to go for a meeting”. So me and the brunette talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax.

Later the brunette’s friends entered the lounge. “Let’s have a dinner party!”, they said. “Oh it will be grand, with wine and french cuisine. And we can do it in your hotel room”.

Everybody came. My girlfriend, my parents and all my friends. It was a strange affair, for the tables were arranged in a square as if we were in a castle of yore, whence none dared trust his neighbour as he supped. And each table had a veil draped in front of it, so you could not see the occupants or dishes.

The meal began but there were murmurs of discontent. Pretty soon, the waiter brought the bill of damages. Gazing at it, I realized to my horror, it would empty two thirds of my bank account. My mother grabbed the bill and protested. My girlfriend left in disgust.

I leapt to the other tables to throttle the brunette, whose idea this was. But the table she sat at was bare, and the food was untouched. I went from table to table, and to my surprise - all my guests had disappeared into thin ayre. No morsel of food had ever been consumed. I looked back and found that I was all alone.

Not quite sure what to do, TJ suddenly appeared.

“Lets go mate! It’s not the end of the world” said he, and tugged my shirt sleeves along. As we walked, he rattled on about mundane things hoping to cheer me up.

I then woke up in a sweat. The alarm clock had not rang yet because it was only 5am. I got up and took a bath but the memory of the dream had left me cold inside. Was this some sign things were about to go horribly wrong?

As I left the house this morning, I felt rather empty and afraid. While I walked to my office, I saw a well-dressed female executive suddenly fall flat on her face. Her lips bled and her sheer stockings were ripped in several places by the severe gravel on the road. I helped her up and gathered her shoes which flew off in her fall.

Today will be a really tough day, I think.

that must have been a very bad fall.

yeah, she looked rather green after that.

the poor woman..what a super duper embarassment
