I only offer this to entertain. If at least a few people get their feelings tugged around, I consider my mission accomplished. If I can give somebody a few laughs, or inspire an orgasm, that's even better.
Thanks to the editors and authors who have helped me improve my writing from 'Painfully Godawful' to 'Average'. I hope at least one of them will look at this and smile.

Mostly in a dream, I heard a man talking to somebody. "... didn't pay for two days, so I opened the door and found him like that."
I felt something squeezing my left arm and another male voice said, "BP is 80 over 40, with pulse of 16. Only four breaths a minute, and temp is 93."
A blazing light blasted me in the right eye as a finger lifted my eyelid. "Sir, did you take any drugs? Are you high on something?" The damn laser-like flashlight moved to my other eye for a moment, then mercifully disappeared.
I felt a needle poke my right wrist. "Are you allergic to anything? Did you eat anything unusual recently?"
I felt myself chuckle as I remembered eating two weeks' worth of meat in only 48 hours.
"This is serious, sir. Do you have any health conditions we should know about? Diabetes? Heart problems?"
I was annoyed they pulled me out of my nice dream of chasing a goat up a mountain. I found the energy to say, "Lemme sleep."
