Day Dream

By: RODNEY HAMRIGHT

Narrated by: Roy Eckhardt

In a world of advanced technology and diverse species from other planets, our protagonist wakes up to the first day of spring with a renewed sense of gratitude for life.

The sunlight filtering through the dew-stained window and the sweet melody of a robin's song fills the room, reminding the protagonist of the cycle of life and renewal happening outside.

As he gets out of bed, the smell of breakfast cooking wafts up through the vents, surprising them. Upon entering the kitchen, they find their wife dressed in a gold sequined evening gown and offering a luxurious spread of eggs, bacon, toast, and Kool-Aid on fine china. Overwhelmed by this unexpected gesture of love, the protagonist savors every bite and is moved to tears.

After breakfast, the wife leads the protagonist outside to a deck where she has set up a home entertainment system with surround sound. She feeds them red seedless grapes. The protagonist is filled with gratitude for his loving family and friends and feels like this day couldn't get any better.

Question, is this day really happing or is it a dream?
