Finishing the Dream

As I tried to pull her along with me and our eyes started adjusting to the darkness, 
we realized that she was not suffering from some sort of paralysis.  Instead, a pair 
of large harry hands protruded through the sidewalk and were each wrapped 
around one of her ankles.

I am not sure why, but I unzipped my pants and started to urinate on the hands.

“What are you doing”, cried my girlfriend, full of fear.

“Our urine is like acid on their skins”, I answered, not really sure how I knew this.

She stared at me with a quizzical look on her face as if she, too, was afraid to ask 
how I knew that – fearful of what my answer might be.

As the skin burned off the large hands, my girlfriend was able to step free and we 
started running down the darkened city street.

Off in the distance was a barely perceivable blinking red light marking the 
destination I was heading for.  Even though it felt like we were running in place and 
in slow motion, the red light grew larger and larger with each lethargic step.

Finally, we reached our destination.  It looked like a domed baseball stadium 
hovering five feet off the ground.  I approached a door-like structure and 
yelled, “Permission to enter the ship” – only the sounds that came out of my mouth 
were strange bleeps and blips. 

“No humans allowed”, boomed from the spaceship in the same bleeping language 
that I had just used.

“It’s okay – she’s with me”, I responded.  My girlfriend took a step back, stared at 
me with terror in her eyes – eyes that then rolled back as she started to fall in a 
faint.

Just in time, I stepped toward her and grabbed her before she crashed onto the 
ground.  Her weight and momentum took me down with her in a soft landing with 
me cushioning her fall.

It was then that I awoke to find my girlfriend on top of me having somehow aroused 
me enough to be pleasuring her in my sleep.

"Oh, you feel so good", she moaned ...only, it came out in bleeps and blips.

(Still laughing at Joe I's remark below.) You are sooo creative, Joe. This is like a combination of sci-fi thrillers and "Nightmare on Elm Street." Got a kick out of the way you burnt the hands holding your girlfriend back. And your ending is priceless! Top-notch Flach work. Love it, Joe. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
