From now on, no more cheese before bed
-Ok Joe, you can see first
What?
-You can see it first. I trust that you’d understand it
Oh. That’s nice of you. Where is it?
-Over here, behind this door. She would’ve wanted you to see it
Is this where she…
-Yes
Oh.
There was this fantastic emotion welling up inside me. It was as if a waterfall was crashing down into a small glass, filling it up with such speed and intensity, and my chest felt as if it were about to burst, but I tried to remain as emotionless as possible. She led me down a small corridor which ended in a single white door. She leant over and reached for the golden shining handle – my stoic reflection warped by the curve of the handle.
-Are you ready?
Does it matter?
I felt something snap inside me. Some deep down muscle or sinew or something just gave in. She opened the door.
-Well?
Yes?
-Well?
-I’m sorry, what is it?
The door slammed shut and she stormed off down the corridor, a fierce animal scream erupting from her chest. I stared at the reflection of the door handle as my body twitched and writhed out of shape, yet my face remained impassive. I could feel the glass tumbler inside me shatter under the pressure of the waterfall, and the raging river flowed off into nothing.
And I woke up.

Hehe
Yes Joe, what happened?!?!
Well, after I woke up I pulled on some clothes and stumbled downstairs for something to eat. Then, after a busy day filled with activity and action, I went to bed and had a dreamless sleep.
