What a "bloody" nightmare. The horrible details of this man"s dream tell us change needs to happen, the sooner the better. I find that using a dream to tell us this is clever and works well.

    I thought the final line could leave the reader with a sense of choice.

Pretty gruesome but at the same time pretty clever. I did not see the ending coming leaving it open to interpretation.
Was Dave ream part of a dress rehearsal, or was it just a dream of wishful thinking?
Well done.
Best wishes,
Mary

Dave doesn't like his co-workers. That is a mentally sick dream. He should visit a therapist or find another place to work. I grew scared of him in that last paragraph. Dave popped a screw in himself. Well thought out story.

Happy Holidays

I enjoyed reading this story. The ending was quite a surprise. The build-up to the ending kept me on the edge of my seat. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Oh no! The story started and ended with the same sentence. I hope it's in an infinite loop and it's always just a dream. We have enough of this kind of thing going on.

    I left out the contents of his pockets to allow that February 3rd would be happening next.

Seems Dave is rehearsing his plan while sitting in his car outside the building where he works. Excellent details on how he murdered each one. Evidently he's planning kill himself too. So familiar to the shootings that go on in this country although there seems to a lull right now.

Well Bill it could go ways either his pockets were empty or he was checking to see if he still had the weapons of intent
Lol
I suppose we will find out ?
Vivid imagination though gruesome
Won't be joining a business with you yet ha ha

It kind of sounds like dreams do come true and Dave is on his way to fulfill his. Good action which kept me riveted until the end. Very nice job.Keep up the good work.

Well, Bill, this was harrowing to say the least. Where's the warning?
However, you did a good job with the theme. I thought it was
realm (fiction, I know), until he awoke from his dream. Then, he
seemed tom possibly intend to follow through with his dream in
real time.
Respectfully, Jan

This is a lot of fun. I like the irony and how original the story is.
I also enjoyed the fast pace and the surprise ending.
Thanks so much for sharing.
