Toe the Line

A friend and I were trying to hang something from the ceiling, but we didn’t have a ladder tall enough. So, like an idiot, someone had the bright idea of putting the stepladder on top of the dining room table…the glass dining room table. Well, my friend got UP the ladder successfully, though there was initially some sliding of the stepladder’s legs and some unsettling, straining sounds coming from the glass table. However, as my friend began descending the ladder, he overstepped the last rung, onto the edge of the glass table, which caused a large rounded break to take place on the edge of the table top (envision a ‘bite’ like that taken out of an apple). Upon doing this, he lost his balance, the foot that overstepped, having nowhere to go, went back into the the very sharp, open void of the newly broken glass and severed his foot about 5 inches below the bottom of the big toe. All I remember hearing is a sickening wet ‘thud.’

Anyway, that’s the dream I had last night. I don’t know the specifics, like who the other person was or what it was we were trying to hang. All I know is it woke me up and here I am, helping spread the mind-numbing terror. Hee hee hee
