Night Dreamer

The year was 2020. Seems there was lockdown and who knew how long it would last. So to pass the time, I decided to dig a tunnel from our back yard, under the house, under the road, and back up inside the ice cream parlor across the street, so I could go buy my snacks without anyone knowing I had become addicted to ice cream.

So day after day, I dug, I tunneled, I sweat, and after about 8,000 hours I had gotten about halfway under the street. It was on a rainy Tuesday eve; I was working on the front of the tunnel when right above me a hole appeared and water came pouring out of it. The water pooled around my feet and before I could move, the ground gave way and I went tumbling into a sink hole!

I was sliding down and down like in a waterpark, but in total blackness. Who knows how long I tumbled down that hole, but I finally saw a light ahead. Very dim. It got brighter and brighter until I was blinded by the light.

I came flying out of a hole in the side of a hill and found myself lying in the middle of a huge meadow filled with green, flowing grass and wildflowers of all colors. Lying there, I heard a noise and looked up. There, right above me, was the most beautiful unicorn I have ever seen. Well, the only one I’ve seen, but, uh…

Anyway, the unicorn was all white with a beautiful physique, and had a beautiful, smooth, white iridescent horn in the middle of her forehead and it glowed with all the colors imaginable. The unicorn did a quick nod of her head upwards and said, “‘Sup?” Her voice was wonderfully smooth and beautiful to hear.

Well, I never finished the tunnel, but here’s “Night Dreamer”. I had to leave the horn off because nobody would believe a unicorn!
