Have You Had The Black Dog Dream Yet?

“Have you had any scary dreams lately?”

The man was old and tired looking.

Have you had any scary dreams lately?

Nothing surprised me about bus people anymore.

Not since I was a kid.

Have you dreamt about the black dog yet?

I recoiled in disgust.

Even for a dirty bus man, this guy was creepy.

At the next stop I got off the bus two stops early.

I didnt mind walking if I was going to save myself from him.

I didnt recognize the guy behind the counter but he acted like he recognized me.

He didnt ask for my name before scribbling something down on the cup.

By the time I unscrambled the message HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED ABOUT THE BLACK DOG?

I was already out of the shop.

I didnt know anything about a black dog.

Maybe its some incel thing on the internet?

I got more black dog messages at work that day.

Someone wrote it on one of the counter mirrors in lipstick.

Have you ever dreamed about the black dog yet?

Another customer straight up asked me as I was ringing her up.

I didnt like her from the moment I started talking to her.

I wasnt going to take her seriously no matter what she said.

But that made four people.

I was freaked out.

It had been a weird day and I was afraid of the black dog dream.

I didnt know what it was but it didnt sound good.

I actually slept great.

Better than I can ever remember sleeping.

I woke up Saturday feeling well rested and clear headed.

I was instantly relieved to blink my eyes open and remember that nothing ominous happened.

In fact, I hadnt dreamed at all.

I slept as soon as my head hit the pillow and I was out cold the whole night.

By the way, have you ever dreamed about the black dog?

Not to sound creepy, but have you?

Its really not so bad.

You have so many dreams.

you might spare one.

I promise you wont even miss it.
