Dreams the Ragman
“I told myself the entire episode had been largely a dream. Caleb and I had come to the beach as we had countless times before. We’d gotten drunk and stoned, gone swimming, engaged in some deep conversation, and then taken refuge in the cave once the storm hit. From there I’d collapsed into a drug-induced and drunken slumber where nightmares took hold and ran rampant. My memories had to be nightmares because the things that took place that night were not possible. If I believed in them even for ...a moment, then I was completely insane. But if I didn’t, I was a liar. Evil. The ultimate trickster and a fixed game if ever there was one.Out beyond the mouth of the cave, lightning crackles and lights up the sky just long enough for me to see him standing there in the rain.This can’t be happening…this can’t be real…There, on the sand, facing the cave, a dark figure dressed in rags…The lightning vanishes and darkness rushes back in, claims the phantom and everything else along with it.My heart races, smashes my chest with such force I have trouble drawing a deep breath against the mounting fear.MoreLess
