Dream—Six Sentence Story

Between the evening and the morning Bryan’s dream suddenly came true. When he realized what had happened he began dancing and shouting with joy.

Offended by all the noise, Bryan’s mind, being rational and all, reminded him, “Your dream couldn’t have happened in a billion years!”

Bryan’s celebrating stopped.

Though officially brainless, Bryan’s gut made an observation: “Well, we do know that a dream with a supposed look-back time of a billion years actually happened, don’t we?” The confused body parts remained silent until they felt Bryan himself resume his joy with thankfulness.
