Ice Cream Dream



I just woke up from a dream about ice cream. In the dream I was craving ice cream of any kind, but more than anything I wanted vanilla ice cream with a brownie. I walked into a shop that sold it, but it cost $6.75! I couldn't afford such an extravagant price so I walked out. I found a Baskin-Robbins, but all they had was strawberry. Even though strawberry is one of my least favorite flavors I decided to get it anyway. I walked out of the place with a cone in hand. After a couple bites I had to stop. The ice cream was too sweet. I put the cone and the ice cream in my bag for later. I spotted another ice cream shop. As it turns out the place was run by the guy who runs my local bodega. I saw that he had some kind of fudge/peanut butter/brownie ice cream and I got excited. I ordered it. He said he was out of that kind even though I saw it right there. He told me to look closer and when I did I saw that what I thought was ice cream was actually bran muffins all squished together. I asked for mint chocolate chip instead and he gave it to me in a cone. I took one taste and it was great. I thought it only cost $2.10, but now he was asking for $4.35. I realized that I had also bought some hot chocolate without my realizing it. I fumbled around for my money and to do so I put the ice cream and the hot chocolate in my bag. I paid up and walked away. I opened up my bag to get the ice cream out. In the bag were not only the two cones and the hot chocolate, but also a half finished Slurpee, an empty unused Slurpee cup, and a melted quart of vanilla ice cream. I found a trash can and threw away the cups, my first ice cream cone, and the melted vanilla, but now my hands were all sticky. That's the last thing I remember. The upshot of all this dream ice cream is that I plan to get a real ice cream cone later today.

Absolutely brilliant. Compelled me to leave a comment, which I've never done despite my regular visits. This post is subject to endless interpretations, each a grasp at describing one awkward boy's existence. Who knew that the window to the soul was located somewhere in the esophagus? Amazing.
