    Itīs about 8šC now, Yes/No . According to the news this is the coldest winter day in the last four years. I had to adapt the theme.

    I'm afraid that I've completely blanked on the topic of Summer, though I'm also preoccupied with my upcoming trip to San Diego to visit my dad, among other things.

    I thought I had an idea for the hundred word contest thread, but it turns out that I misremembered the subject as a momentous rather than intriguing event, so my story isn't quite on topic. Next time I turn my computer on, I'll have to see if I've jotted down an intriguing event idea.

    Maybe you can change your idea a bit to make the event intriguing. Looking forward to your contribution anyway.

    I keep forgetting that in the southern hemisphere, it's winter. It was warm here and raining again.

    It looks like time is up for this contest. Danik, you are the winner! Congratulations!

    Thanks, Yes/No. Of course you donīt have to remember the differences of the seasons.

    And our next subject will be "Dreams". Hoping for good entries.

    The Dream Right Now

    How much misinformation does it take to turn reality into a dream?

    Jason wondered about stuff like that.

    He wanted to wake up. Every clue revealed more mysteries.

    When he surrendered to Melinda she made him drink the tea of forgetfulness. This helped him sleep so he could freely dream.

    Feeling a bit rusty , not been on for a while so had a bit of a warm up go on this one ....

    Dreams.

    I'm too good at dreaming , seems to take over reality , to become solid but no one else can see. Tonight l drempt up a monster in our house. I swiftly attacked with the biggest kitchen knife , finaly it looks mortaly wounded , slumped.

    If Mum can't see , why is she screaming?
