Story 942 “Dreams Do Come True”

In 1974, Sam had a dream that changed his life forever.He fell asleep in a class and saw the most beautiful woman in the universe talking to him. She haunted his life for years. He went to the ends of the world to find her.  Then, one day in 1982, she walked off the bus, out of his dreams and into his life, to become his wife three months later. That is the beginning of the rest of the story.

I wrote two other 81 word stories but did not submit them as the site only accepted one submission.  Here they are:

81 Word Stories, “Meeting the Grim Reaper”

A picture containing sign, street, light, stop Description automatically generated (Less important)

At 0 dark hundred hours, Sam Adams woke up found himself in Limbo, waiting for the decision of the grim Reaper about his fate. The grim reaper told him,

“Sam Adams, you’ve been given a reprieve. It is not your date with fate today. You will have five more years to get it right before last judgment. He woke up in bed next to his wife, drank a cup of coffee, and thought about life and his pending date with fate.

81 words “Social Cleansing Board’s Decision”

Following the revolution of 2024, under the new rules of the Christian States of America, social cleansing boards were set up to review the life of the elderly and the disabled. No one would be allowed to live unless they could take care of themselves or they had family members willing to do so. Sam Adams 81 years old went to the board to plea for his life. Since he was all alone and had Alzheimer’s’ the decision was final termination.

The End
