Short Stories by Mike DeFrench

De: Mike DeFrench

Narrado por: Edward J Jorgenson

"I’ve been having the same dream now for a long time. It’s a recurring dream…or nightmare. I can never tell for sure because the emotion is different. The details are the always the same—the smells, the sounds of my shoes, etc.—but I never know what’s on the other side of those doors. I do now. And (and this was always strange to me), my attitude of what might be over there is often different. Sometimes, I’m afraid of it. Sometimes, I want it. But I am always compelled towards them. There is never a backwards step. Now, I think I know why."

This short story was first published in the collection Absent Thoughts Dress in Black.
