There was very little Ben remembered from the night before as he assembled what would be his breakfast on Saturday morning.
The only thing that lingered from ear to ear in his mind was a smell he couldn’t quite recognize. It smelled like morning, but he couldn't figure out why.
As he opened the refrigerator to get the milk he noticed a reminder stuck to the door, Hypnosis Seminar this Friday. He was certain such an event was a hoax, but it caught his interest. He went along with some friends, then… What happened next?
Before he could give it another thought, his phone rang on the kitchen counter. It was his friend, Jessica.
“How’re you feeling?” she asked. “Did it work?”
“Did what work?” he replied.
“We thought it’d be funny to see if the guy could hypnotize you into eating your pillow when you woke up. Did you?”
Ben’s eyes grew wide as he turned from his phone to the stove. There was a large pot sitting under the blowing fan.
He took a step closer and removed the lid. Inside was his pillow in boiling water.
“I’m going to have to call you back,” he said.
Saturday Morning Alarm
Waking up to the alarm clock known as a Saturday morning hungry kitty. Brown pellets clink into a tin bowl. Water reaches the brim.
Coffee. It’s time for coffee. The world of dreams is now out of reach.
Visitor
It’s 3AM. I woke up to the sound of the door creaking open.
“Who is it?” I call out.
No answer.
Is this a dream? I walk over to the open door and peek around the corner. No one.
“How?”
“Meow.”
“Oh, that’s how.”
