[i gotta knuckle down and just be okay with this]

The last dream I remember (in great detail) having I had well over two years ago. I don’t remember my dreams very often. I remember having it because it was technicolored and had you in it. We stole a boat because the world was ending and I didn’t want to be on land when that happened. There was a bridge leading miles out to the ocean and at the end of it was this funny looking white yacht. Whimsical funny, not un-seaworthy funny. After we boarded it, I looked back towards the city skyline and saw it disintegrating slowly into little dark flecks of ash against the stormy green sky. Very slowly. I remember thinking that “the end” would probably take at least another full day, at this rate.

It was rainy, but the rain didn’t seem dirty. The water was dark - a deep Prussian blue that permeated each rain drop. The ocean seemed to be rising faster than the world was ending. I was peaceful. With the world ending. On a boat.

I don’t know how to swim. I don’t think the dream version of me does either.

(tsk tsk… remember three times in the first three lines)

* i am obsessed with -the end-
* i think we once spoke about the the book series left behind. maybe not. memory isnt my strong suit.
* im fairly sure even if we didnt discuss it that youve read it. maybe im wrong.
* i remember very well the first book. the anti-christ figure. slick looking smooth talking fellow who appears to come out of nowhere and sweep the world away with his words. the pen/voice is mightier than the sword.
* few years back during the last presidential election i was watching the dem convention on tv whilst playing some video game. this one guy was speaking and ill never forget thinking at that time wow he so reminds me of the anti-christ character from left behind. years ago.
* i generally vote republican. always actually. even george w. something about preferring bad decisions over wrong choices. morality even though mixed with greed. something like that anyways.
* im voting for a democrat this year. that eloquent speaker from the years ago convention is running.
* i am obsessed with -the end-

(It was three in the morning. Things have to come in threes at three in the morning.)

Yeah we did talk about it; your memory is intact. I didn’t ever finish the series though. I lack reading the final book.

I don’t think I’m fixated with “the end,” per say, but if it does have cause to enter my head, it does so with severe repercussions. I have a standing agreement with some of my friends to steer me away from apocalyptic fiction/movies - my level of impressionableness regarding that genre is high. If sparked, I can enter a month-long obsession of wanting to stockpile goods and looking for the best deal on bulk rad-x pills.

I think you’re Apocalypse-safe in your vote. For some reason, I always pictured the anti-Christ as a blond.

You liked “The Road” - I had a four week series of nightmares from it and spent the majority of my free time researching the realistic affects of a nuclear winter. If you’re not put off by them, you should check out some comics. I see a possible “The Walking Dead” and “Y: The Last Man” interest.

I don’t know why I was calm in my dream. I think it was the technicolors.
