Late Last Night
ch. 12
"Get up. Get up boy... Come on... Come on... Alright, carry da banner! Sell da papers!" Kloppman's voice resonated throughout the entire bunk room, awakening even the deepest of sleepers.
The words penetrated his sleep, and he shot up, and immediately began searching the bunk room.
His eyes quickly landed on Mush, Dutchy, and Kid Blink, as they went about their morning routines.
"It was a dream?" He whispered to himself, "but it all seemed so real!"
"Hey, you okay kid?" Race asked, pulling his suspenders up over his shoulders.
"Yeah, I guess so." He responded a little slowly. "I just had a bad dream is all."
"Well you'd better get ready, your gonna be late." Race said as he walked off toward the washroom.
He sat there for a few minutes thinking over the events of his dream. All of a sudden he was smacked in the back of the head.
"Hey Snipeshooter," Blink said grinning his ever-present grin, "ya shouldn't sleep sitting up, it ain't healthy."
Snipeshooter grinned sheepishly.
"I wasn't sleepin'!" He protested good-naturedly.
"Could a' fooled me." Blink retorted playfully. "Now are ya gonna get ready for work, or are ya gonna sit there all day so that ya can starve tonight?"
"I'm comin'!" Snipeshooter said, feeling better already.
The last traces of the dream were already melting away. By the time he got to the distribution office, Snipeshooter didn't remember it at all.
Bad dreams occur often in the city. Some are worse than others, but all are eventually forgotten in the light of a brand new day. Especially in the Newsboys lodging house, good dreams are remembered, bad dreams are forgotten, and life always goes on.
