I thought I’d have another shot at The Sunday Whirl but the words were a bit challenging.

I live a humdrum life. One dull, dim, dreary day after another.
But at night things are very different, whilst sleeping I have a wonderful time! Dreams are far more fun than reality. I sometimes wish I could sleep for a week!
I had a great one the other night, it was like being in a movie; whoever wrote the script was a genius. There I was walking along a path when the dust beneath my feet changed into sand, a tree became a cactus, then a distant scarecrow began to shimmer. It was then I see’d her, (sorry about that, but it was a difficult word to incorporate so I made the best use of it I could) for it morphed into the most beautiful girl I’d seen since the previous night’s dream. (nice bit of rhyme there!) She walked towards me slowly at first then briskly. Straight away I had a crush on her. She whispered something in my ear, something I could hardly hear, (there I go again!) but it mattered not.
A cow became a camel, a two seater with three humps. We climbed aboard Humphrey (an appropriate name, I thought!) and headed towards a distant town. A bell around its neck went ding-a-ling. It got louder and louder until my bloody alarm clock woke me up.
If only dreams were like continuing dramas or soap operas, ones that end with a cliff hanger and carry on the next night.
It was time for breakfast, crispy toast with creamy butter (I knew I’d find a way of using those two remaining words!) and there it was, another dull, dim, dreary day.
*I deserve a bonus point for using two of the words not once, but twice!

Well done Keith. Very clever writing
Thank you so much, Sadje!
You’re very welcome
Fun take
Thanks, Di!
Play fabulous imagination you have, my friend! So entertaining 😊
What a kind thing to say, thank you, Nancy.
This was fun!
I had fun writing it! Thanks, Mimi.
Good to have a bit of humor lightening the mood!!!
We need as much as we can get these days.
😅 I love your dreamy story Keith. So funny and you’re right it would be good to be able to slip back into some dreams 🙌
Thanks. Ange.
I’ve just been writting a story based on a dream I had last night – now I just need an ending!
So much fun! And I agree you deserve extra credit!
Bravo! Made me laugh and smile. Thank you!
Excellent, Keith. I loved your charming dialogue with the reader throughout. Nicely done. I think you invented, or at least upscaled, a genre of storytelling by stepping outside the story to chat with your reader. Brilliant!
This was the essence of a dream!
I love this, Keith. It was the essence of a dream!
