Part One
Nigel looked at Sydney and thought she never looked more beautiful. She had on a Royal Blue evening gown, her hair draped in loose curls down her back.
Candlelight flickered across her face as she turned and walked slowly toward him. Without a word, she put her arms around his neck and drew him into a passionate kiss. Nigel's senses came alive in that moment: he was in love with Sydney, and the feel of her lips on his was almost more than he could stand. In all of time he had spent with her, he never imagined she could feel the same way about him that he felt for her.
As the kiss continued, Nigel had the strange sensation of feathery kisses and caresses all over his body. Slowly the hold of the dream began to fade, but the feelings continued. Nigel reluctantly opened his eyes and to his horror, realized that it was not kisses he was feeling, but something more terrifying. In the dim moonlight filtering through the drapes, Nigel saw that the covers of his bed were moving by themselves - and as he lifted them he realized he was covered with hundreds of snakes. He jumped out of bed with a scream and ran to the bedroom door, brushing his hands through his hair and over his body.
Fighting back the terror, he slowly reached over for the light switch and quickly turned it on. "What the." he said in disbelief as he now looked at his empty bed.
Nigel walked into the kitchen, still shaking "It was a dream. It was just a dream," he kept telling himself and he poured some water. After he had time to calm down, he started to remember how the dream had started and smiled to himself. The first half of the dream had been wonderful, even magical, his dream come true; but then it had become a nightmare.
Nigel felt himself shiver at the thought of how the dream had ended. Reluctantly, he crept back to his bedroom. Slowly, still afraid of what he might see, he peered around the door frame. As before, his bed was empty. Not a snake in sight.
A strange buzzing sound startled him awake and he realized it was the faint sound of the alarm coming from his bedroom. After checking the room, he still could not get the horrific images out of his mind and ended up sleeping on his small couch. As Nigel got up he knew that it had been a mistake. He had a crick in his neck and his back didn't feel much better. As Nigel entered the bedroom, he glanced at his clock and realized he was going to be late, so he took a quick shower, dressed and rushed into work.
