Awakening


The cool, wet slurp against my bare arm brought me out of a fragmented dream in which I could not find my way out of a dark, dank forest.  No matter how hard I pushed forward branches grabbed my face and vines wrapped their sinew like lengths around my legs and arms.  For a moment I lay still, letting the dream fade as I listened to the quiet of my room.  I opened my eyes to the yawning maw of my favorite canine sitting only inches away at the side of my bed, waiting for me to take him outside.
