Strange Construction

The spherical orange building shone.

She was surprised to see it in their backyard.

She was sure it was not there the day before. 

She had not seen or heard people working.

Every morning, she crossed that way.

Was the religious morning-walker so lost in her thoughts that she had never noticed it? 

"Is my memory failing me as I am getting older?" she asked aloud.

She just could not seem to recollect.

The store in the building beckoned.

She was thirsty.

"Some water please!" she requested.


SPLASH! 

There was water on her face.

"Are you okay?" her mother asked.

Have you ever seen a dream that seemed so real that you remembered/experienced the dream even after waking up?

  7. This one made me laugh. I walked in my sleep quite a bit when I was a kid, giving rise to some funny stories :)
