The Opportunity Inheritance

Nicole held the golden fountain pen her father had given her on her 18th birthday in her right hand. She ran her thumb across the cover of her journal enjoying the texture as an attempt to calm her mind into a meditative state as she waited for the words to come to her mind and be bled onto its pages. It had become apparent to her that if she spent all night researching lucid dreaming, the actual sleep may never come. She thought to herself “how am I supposed to keep a dream journal when I can never remember my dreams?” as she opened her brand-new black Moleskine journal. She decided to jot down what she remembered from her research to get her creative juices going.
