Bill,

Let me get this straight. The BETTER ending would have been if everyone had ended up as zombies.

Hm.

If you don't mind, I will reserve my own judgment on that - since I seem to be included? As well as all other FS members AND the rest of the world?

I would like to request another option, please. Go back to sleep.

I loved your story. I have bizarre dreams all the time, so it didn't seem to weird to me. Not a fan of Thriller, or was it the fact you woke up before the dance was over? Great story to start my day! Sally

I was wondering how and when all these things were happening and you explained it as a dream. One with another bad ending. I know the feeling. Dreams never have a conclusion. I always awake before they come to a satisfactory ending. That is way my days are off to a bad start.

    One of the most over-used conclusions to stories that are bizarre is to say that it was all a dream. Here I have examples of two bad endings, The Sopranos and Lost. Having it be a dream is just one more example. : )

Good think it was all a dream. You have several dreams like that. It would be fun to imagine the Sopranos as Edith and Archie Bunker and Maude looking like Caitlyn Jenner. I thought Jenner was running for governor of California, It's fitting that the cast of "Lost" shows up and everyone becomes a zombie. It figures. Funny stuff. Judi

Isn't it funny? I've been awakened from some fabulous dreams, and wake before I see a possible fabulous end to that dream, as much as I Will myself to go back to sleep, I yearn to have that dream end the way the dream was going...oh no! I cry, I'll never come this way again, beautifully written Bill, blessings Roy

Bill - This is a great commentary on what happens when you watch too much TV. Perhaps one catalyst in this saga is that actors play so many different rolls, For example, just when you get use to an actress as an ADA in L&O, she becomes a cop in another show - All too confusing - stay well - Jerry

That's not a dream; it's a nightmare and one I most definitely would want out of as quickly as possible. Ingenious thought crammed into so few words. Awesome! A job well done!

Smiles, Carol

I have to say this is truly written by a creative genius to bring so many characters to dreamland and shift from scene to scene without losing or confusing the story.
Well done.

Life feels like a jumbled mess and Twilight Zone rerun to me lately. Jesus said before his return, that the world would be wild, wars and rumors of wars, and a dramatic rise in wicked persons as in the days of Noah. I think we're there, or awfully close. Just sayin'.
Sending you my best today as always, dear Bill,

Beautiful! Beautiful. Freaking Beautiful! I don't know how you do it, Bill, week after week, sometimes twice a week, but you always manage to come up with something fresh and entertaining. This was no exception!
