My Biggest Fear

My bed was warm and toasty as my mom screamed down the hall. It was time to get up and start another day. I didn't want to start, however, because I had just been awoken from the dream to end all dreams. See, my greatest fear when i was a young lad was a giant boulder crashing through my bedroom door and crushing me to smithereens. I had multiple dreams about said boulder; one about it teasing me and rolling past my room a few times before unleashing its destruction, another about it being smaller and gradually getting big enough to flatten a Mac truck. I always feared this disastrous boulder, and worst of all, the fear has never gone away. The dream always occurred right before i awoke, making it seem all the more real. Nowadays, i have the dream less often, and when i do, it never really scares me. But back in the pre big boy pants days, it was my number one fear.

You're writing style is rather particular and I kind of enjoy it.

This "fabled" boulder somewhat reminds me of a snowball getting bigger and bigger.

If I had a dream about a boulder coming through my window and crushing me I wouldn't want to go to sleep.

That was actually a big amusing to read. Usually everyone's afraid of the dark and what not, but you, you were afraid of a boulder. But I guess if I had a dream like that, I wouldn't want to sleep. Very good way of explaining it.

I has the same dream last night, OK maybe not, maybe it was about a giant Stay- Puff Mardhmello man, or was that a movie?!?
