"WAKE UP!!!"

"WAKE UP!!"

It was so loud, it screamed at me.

I'd been dreaming in my bed, but now I was under a dirty blanket on a cold stone floor, this was wrong.

I pulled myself upright and knew that something was amiss because I could see, my eyes cleared and I saw stone steps in front of me. I was in some huge entrance hall, I think I was the only one there and then I saw the heads.

The heads were talking and saying things but never finishing and not making sense.

".... I have to go to ....."

"..... did you tell her that ...."

" ... still waiting for ..."

"... who said that who was it ... "

".... not me ..."

"... I must ..."

"...not tomorrow not today never"

The whispers and scratchy words were driving me mad, was I still dreaming? I never went to sleep here.

I stood up, I was naked, in a probably public place, now that is a definite dream situation.

I then studied the heads more closely as they slowly turned and whispered and shouted their fragmented words.

Then, shocked, I realised that every face on every head was my own and the words they spoke were my own fragmented thoughts, that made no sense at all.

I looked around, there was me, the stone floor, the blanket, the stairs, and the heads but beyond that was a grey nothingness.

Then my alarm went off .............
