Creative Writing: A Dream Come TrueChad Jay Yr. 11There I was, sitting on my bed at 2:30 am. Wondering about the dream Ijust had.
Not only was it stupid, but I have never had such a weird dream. Itwas really different. The dream was about a little dog. The dog was walking on my chest, whileI was lying on something soft. I think it was a mattress. The puppy walkedtowards y waist.
I knew that it was going to bite. “Get lost”. I yelled. The dog remained calm. Now it was standing on my waist.
It lowered itscute head, and sniffed my pockets. I was surprised. Why didn’t it bite? Then thedog was walking towards my chest. This time I wasn’t scared.
It opened its mouthand lowered its head again. This time my heart stared to thump. Was it going tobite me? No, it just licked my cheek. Even before it finished licking my cheek,I came to my senses. I didn’t understand what I dreamt about. After thinkingabout the dream for about ten minutes a went back to sleep.
By next morning I had forgotten all about the dream. That morning , Iwas late as usual. I ran to the bus stop with my briefcase. My tie flew in themorning wind. Only thing that I hoped was that I would not be late to work, Ihad been warned couple of times about me being late.
Luckily the bus too waslate as usual. As I was boarding the bus I looked up for a vacant seat. What I saw thenwas quite unbelievable. Instead of looking for an empty seat I was perving on abeautiful woman.
She looked to be in her early 20s. The most outstanding featureshe had was her attractive blue eyes. Her clear eyes did really amaze me. Shehad fair smooth skin and shiny blond hair.
I have never seen any one sobeautiful in my whole life. I looked at her clear blue eyes again, but this timeI realised that they were staring right back at me. I was really embarrassed. All I managed to do was to smile. When I did, she smiled back at me.
Her smilereally matched her beauty. I was captivated by her looks. “Your change mate”. Said the driver as he handed me the ticket and thechange.
I was surprised to see that there was an empty seat next to her. Whydidn’t anyone else sit next to her, didn’t they notice her beauty? I knewexactly where to sit. As I sat next to her, she smiled and introduced herself. Iwas really surprised. I knew that it was my lucky day.
“Hi”. She said, “I’m Lisa. What’s your name?. “Um. .
. I. . . am Jack” I mumbled. “I haven’t seen you catching this busbefore”.
There were so many things I wanted to ask her, but I didn’t know whereto start. “Where do you work?”. Lisa asked. “Commonwealth Bank, the City branch” I replied “What about you?””Thompson Solicitors, It’s in Bourke Street. I suppose you are going tocatch a train as well?”.
Lisa answered. “Yes. I always catch public transport to work because I don’t have tobother about parking. ” I said.
During the next half hour we both exchanged our thoughts and feelings. Ialso found out that she was twenty-two and most importantly, single. I feltreally lucky. We both got off the train together. We were holding hands.
I knewthat I would be late for work once again. I didn’t really care about work, all Ihad in my mind was Lisa. As we were walking down the Flinders Street Station Ifelt really special. She suddenly stoped. She turned towards me and stared inmy eyes.
She kissed me and said that she had to go. “Where are you going?”. I asked sadly. “I have to go to work.
” Lisa replied. She hugged me once more and left. When she hugged me if felt strange. Noone has ever hugged me that tightly. I walked towards the Elizabeth Street exit. All I was thinking about wasLisa.
Will I ever see her again? I didn’t notice the ticket Inspector until hetapped me on the shoulder and requested to see my ticket. I felt my back pocketfor my wallet. It wasn’t there. In fact it wasn’t in any of my pockets. Whathappened to my wallet, I wondered.
I told the Inspector that I have lost mywallet. He said that it wasn’t a good enough reason for travelling on publictransport without a ticket, and stated to write my fine. As he handed me the$100 fine I stated to think about my wallet. And Lisa.
Now it seemed more clear to me. Lisa must have been a pick-pocket. I didsee an article about pick-pockets operating in the city. I felt reallyhumiliated. I couldn’t believe how stupid I was.
I will never forget Lisa, orthis incident. I did really enjoy the moment that we kissed. But I can’t believehow someone that beautiful could be such a bitch. As I arrived at work, I was confronted by the manager. He really waspissed a me.
After yelling his head off at me, he asked why I was late. Iexplained the whole story to him. From his facial expression I knew that hedidn’t believe me. He said that he couldn’t put up with me any more, and firedme.
I really was having a bad day. I lost my wallet containing $160, got a $100fine for catching a train without a ticket and lastly lost my job. All thanks tothat bitch Lisa.
