In my dream,

I was hosting a party
in my new house. 

I invited my friends. 

I also had my friends from the convention. 

They brought their friends, 
MIAD chicks.

I had remembered that
I saved mushrooms
for a special occasion. 

I ate a few
and waited for them to kick. 

I was having a good time.

It was then that she came in. 

Carly. 

Her whole demeanor,
her voice,
her style… 
Oh God. 

She saw me
and immediately realized
she was crashing my party. 

Holding her drink,
she approached me. 
I was frozen. 
Deer in headlights.

She asked if we could talk in the backyard in private. 

She had a lot to get off her mind. 
She wanted to apologize. 
The mushrooms were kicking in.

Reluctantly, I agreed. 
We made our way toward the back.

Just as things were getting weird, I woke up.

Past.  Interrupted.  Unfulfilled.  

Kinda wanted to see where this was going.
I thought I was over her.
