Story Time

Hello all, so a boring post today. I do not want to dedicate too much time to the blog today because I am starting a story... and hopefully it will be a lengthy one. Anyway, I figured I would skim over that dream I mentioned in my post "My Dog in a Nutshell". Forgive me for not having an ample amount of background... but it was a dream so there was not much I could do to help it.

"You ready for the big match, this marks the most important day in your career Arold (this is the fake identity I will give myself for the story). Make sure you don't mess it up."

I was concerned as to why this "match" was so important for me, strangely I wasn't concerned that the person who just told me this was a chimpanzee. I moved the scarlet drapes hanging in the doorway out of my way and approached the ring... there was a table on it. As I neared the ring (the ring was the same kind that UFC fighters tussle in.) I noticed that the table was bearing a chess set. The chess set looked very official and expensive, next to it was a timer for each turn. I sat down in the chair closest to me and my opponent was revealed as they neared the ring... it was a woman. She sat down and the game began, all I remember is losing my queen very quickly then losing the game.

"Hey listen, don't worry about it. You still got higher stats in your career than she ever will and you are still the world champ." said Charles (This is the name I will provide my chimpanzee advisor).

The rest of the dream was spend trying to improve my game by practicing against Charles, I was regarded as the worlds best player but he would win every time. No one knew about Charles' secret talent because chimpanzees are not allowed to compete in official competitions... so I was his designated protégé. I really like to think of Charles as the Philoctetes to my Hercules.

It was after a game with Charles that I was woken up by Jasper eating the drywall outside of my bedroom door.
