Fermius Firefly

A Dream Log, whenever I remember the dreams I've had.

Fermius is a pen name drawn from a series of short fiction I wrote when I published the small press magazine Stellanova (on paper.) I play RPG games to escape from my daily grind as a technology wage slave for the state of California. I eat out a lot in order to do my part in supporting our increasingly service level economy. I am butler to 2 feline masters. If you ask them they will tell you I'm not very good at it, late with dinner, don't have enough hands with brushes in them, and sometimes I even lock them out of their office.

Carpet Party

       I dreamed I was in a large room with a new carpet that had not yet been stretched to the walls and secured. I was with most of the other LAN Administrators from work, plus a few other individuals, some teachers, some former students, and a couple of friends I haven's seen in a while. We were milling about, visiting when I got it into my head to make the carpet stretching into a sort of party game. We started spiraling out from the center, shuffling our feet to stretch the carpet and about halfway into the room I switched to crawling to the edge. Everyone followed along each radiating out from the center. I then started singing a sort of weird sing song rhyming song that I was making up as I went along, This is a very inaccurate reconstruction, only the ending rhymes are correct:

       "Big Jim, thought himself lord of the jungle.
       King of the snakes, leaves and the dirt.
       He rolled for a crit but got a bungle.
       Good thing only his manhood was hurt.

       I only sang the one verse. The rhyme pattern was ABAB and like a jogging cadence, the rest of the team echoed back each line after I sang it, which gave me time to think of the next line. after the final line everyone laughed and we were at the point where I was able to pass around the setting tool for the carpet and everyone got to hook in their edge. I still needed to do the hallway, but that looked like it was going to be easy. It wouldn't even take two or three extra people to finish it in just a couple of minutes.
