I was the one in that basement, crossing the planked floor to the hulking black stove, and that was exactly the realization I had in the dream. The whole room was whispering at me as I walked, and the floor indeed rippled under my feet. When I woke up, that dream stuck with me, the emotion of it, and the visual metaphor of the stove in the room was potent for me. I tried to convey that in this story, as best I could.

The idea that here we live in this world, striving, hoping to make something good of our lives when in the end none of that matters, is scary. The thought that each of us is destined for some fearsome, horrific place is disturbing on multiple levels and gives me a distinct case of the willies. Good show, and I'm glad you're sharing your stories with us. This one is so creepy that I always fear I'll have a nightmare like the man in the story.

Platt Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:54:43 +0000 http://www.alphabete-noir.com/?p=1161#comment-6088 Scary. I liked the Victorian tone set by: <i>This one was strange, and the memory of it is like an affliction that can’t be shed.</i> The retelling of the dream in dialog took some of the horror out of it. Rereading it, I think I wanted a more direct flashback (action from the young man's pov), though I'm not sure how it could be accomplished without a weird segue between the flashback and the dialog between the two men. The thin smile and the lie at the end gave me a little shiver. Great tale. Scary.
