The Gnome

Ah, there's so much in my heart right now...but I'll refrain for a moment to tell about a dream I had this morning.

I'm in an auditorium of moderate size. The aisles are wide. I keep hearing parents complaining about the character of some of the teenagers that are running around on the stage. All of a sudden I find myself sitting by a rain-streaked window in a dimly lit room. A small table butts up against the wall. There are probably three of us in the room. At the table, myself and another man stare at a sleeping gnome. Slowly I place my hands upon the creature and begin to shake him 'til his eyes open. As I set him down he begins to prophesy " It is creeping up over the car quickly. There isn't much time!". As he is speaking, a silver medallion lying next to him begins to swirl into different images. Instinctually I know that we are waiting to see if the medallion is "heads" or "tails". When the medallion reveals the image of a knight it is "heads", and when the medallion stretches to become a cross sticking out of the circle, "it is tails". The man sitting next to me picks up the token. But it is too early! "Stop fool! He isn't finished yet! You've ruined it!" some man yells from near the door. The gnome is still prophesying as I hear "wake uuup, wake up Josh" in a really girly voice. I'm now awake and my friend Tyler is standing at the door. Oive!
