I enjoy a good nightmare. It’s like watching a horror movie without buying a ticket! Plus, I usually have the starring role. I was in the mood for one last night so I ate loads of cheese before I went to bed – it usually works. I was snoring in seconds.
I found myself in a dense forest searching for something, I don’t know what. It was so quiet. I saw a puppy curled up under a tree. It raised its head. I smiled.
Then it all kicked off. The sweet little dog became a fang-toothed monster. I ran. It chased. I tripped. I fell. It towered over me, green slime dribbled from its gaping mouth. I tried rolling away. It slammed its paw on my chest. I struggled. It raised its back leg and peed all over me. It stank. Most unpleasant.
Suddenly I jarred awake. I was in a bit of a state, but I’d rather not go into details.
As nightmares go, it wasn’t the best. If I’d paid to watch it, I’d have asked for my money back. And I didn’t even have any popcorn!

Peed on by a dog, yuck! A nightmare indeed. I’ve never really understood the attraction of horror films, paying the be scared and terrified for a couple of hours!
I’m with you, Iain! Haven’t watched one for years.
Most unpleasant for sure!
Thank goodness it’s fiction! Thank Danny
I am very careful about what I watch or read just before bedtime. You just never know what stsys in your subconscious.
Me too Denise!
I’m guessing it was you who peed, and this is all an elaborate ruse to explain why your beds all wet!!!!! Nice write!! and by the way Keith, it’s me paisley…….
Paisley – it’s been a long time!
Hi Keith – I really don’t like horror films … while being peed on is just not good to think about … but cheese and popcorn -together … popcorn smell is nauseous … cheese may have that too – but I enjoy eating it – nightmares yes on occasion … cheers Hilary
Perfectly summed up Hilary!
Unlike you, i do not like nightmares, that one sounds awful. As you noted, awful enough that you wouldn’t pay to see it.
I’ve had more entertaining ones!
A rather pungent story Keith
It is a bit! Cheers Michael
No disagreement, nightmare is like watching a horror movie without buying a ticket. What one saves on ticket, probably goes to doctors bill.
A very good point! Thanks Abhijit
