I have
been haunted by Indians lately, the wild kind. They are on
my mind day and night. It seems that everywhere I go I see
Indians. I went to the grocery story with Johnnie and I saw
pictures of Indians on boxes of food stuff. I was looking
through my coin collection and there was an Indian head
penny. I turned on the TV and there was a pack of wild
Indians attaching a wagon train, but John Wayne and the
cavalry got there just in time to save it.
Last
night when I went to bed, I was thinking about all the
trouble I had been having over using the phrase ???wild
Indians??? in one of my stories. All of a sudden four Indians
in war paint came charging through my bedroom door. As they
got to the side of my bed I rolled out of the other side and
ran out the door and into the den. They were right behind me
yelling, whooping and screeching like the whole Sioux Nation
at the battle of the Little Big Horn.
I ran
into the dinning room and they were right behind me. Then I
ran into my office, where my gun safe was and shoved my desk
up against the door. I turned and started to work the
combination on my gun safe. The Indians were chopping at the
door with their tomahawks.
I saw
that I wasn??™t going to be able to open my gun safe, grab a
gun and load it before they were through the door and into
my office. I ran over to my computer and emailed Don and Pat
and asked them for help. Then I turned back to face the
Indians and that??™s when I turned over in bed and fell off on
the floor.
I woke
up when I hit the floor and just lay there a minute. Cold
sweat had broken out on my forehead. Wow, it had all been
just a dream. I got up off the floor and stepped into a pair
of pants. Then I put on my house slippers and went into the
kitchen. I got the jar of Jif peanut butter out of the
cabinet and made me a peanut butter sandwich. I poured a
glass of cold milk and sat down at the table to think about
my dream.
Now
those nasty wild Indians had interrupted my sleep. What was
I going to do about it? Well I think I??™ll email Don and Pat
and ask them what I should do. I did just that and they told
me ??¦ but no that??™s a whole nother story for a different
time.
