That night
S.I.M.O.N. had been awoken by his slumber by a horrid nightmare. Hearing his
cry, and as a true leader and Bro, Joe rushed out of bed and to S.I.M.O.N.'s
room. He knocked on the door and called for him. "Come in," replied
S.I.M.O.N., trembling.
When Joe
entered the room, he found S.I.M.O.N. with his blanket around his body, as if
he was hiding from something. Joe sighed. "Are you alright?"
"Not
really," he said, "To be honest, I'm a little chilly, and well I
think I crapped my pants."
Joe fell
silent. "That's nice..." said Joe awkwardly.
"Sorry.
I just got really freaked out by my dream."
"What
happened in it?"
S.I.M.O.N.
sighed and moaned with disturbance. "Well, I was in dark place; it was mix
between a lava pit and a cave. I was walking around and looking at different
kinds of gems and minerals. They were glowing, and there was a trail of them
running down a path. I followed the path to what looked like a spider's web,
with fairies of my kind tied in the webbing. However, they shrieked at the
sight of me, and told me to scram off, calling me a tyrant and such. But then I
became aware of what they were truly screaming at."
"What
were they screaming at?"
"Me."
"Um...what?"
"Let
me elaborate."
"Please
do."
"I
turned around to see a giant...spider thing. It was like a half fairy half
spider monster. It had a lower body of a spider, like a centaur but with spider
legs instead of horse legs. But it had arms like mantis arms, except not green.
They matched the color of the spider legs. But the exoskeleton, I guess, was
almost rocky, because it looked like it grew off in chunks off the body, rather
than having it naturally blend together."
"This
is very vivid detail for a dream."
"Well,
it happened. There were six more smaller mantis pincers on its back, again,
looking a bit rock-like."
"So,
ultimately, it had sixteen legs?"
"Yes
for Mother Goose's sake can I finish the freaking story?"
"Yes.
Sorry."
"Anyways,
the most shocking part about this monster was his face and midsection."
"Why
the midsection?"
"OH MY
GOD JOE. SERIOUSLY."
"I'm
just saying, it's fairly specific."
" And
I'm just saying shut the hell up. Questions afterwards."
"Very
well."
"Thank
you. So, the midsection and face were very familiar to me, because well...it
was me. Except with a bunch of red glossy eyes
on my chest and face, and I had these huge, like, three inch long
fangs."
"What
was the color of the spider parts?"
"Brow-
wait why does it matter? You've been blind since the day you were born!"
"Just
making sure you're okay. Generally when you're in your, 'out of gourd freak
out' moments, you tend to forget things like I'm blind, Will hears more voices
then yours, and Cindy has three eyes."
"Oh.
Gotcha."
"You
seemed panicked."
"Well,
thank you for caring." S.I.M.O.N. sighed. "So anyway, upon looking at
the...THING...I was terrified. Like, fell down terrified. It stood above me and
uttered only a two words before it jabbed me with a pincer and I woke up; 'I'm
waiting'."
"Huh...interesting."
S.I.M.O.N.
grabbed Joe by the shoulders and shook him back and forth frantically.
"What does this mean Joe?! What does this mean?!"
Joe gently
pushed S.I.M.O.N. away. "I don't know. Just please calm down, it might
have been just a bad dream. 'Kay?"
"Okay..."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
S.I.M.O.N. fell back asleep as he thought about happier thoughts, like other
times when Joe stuck out for him. He was like an older brother to him, unlike
the way he was to everyone else, which was a leader, even bossy.
If only...
