😴 A Fight In a Dive Bar
Dreams of a time traveler sometimes lead to violence
As if in slow motion, the biggest fella in the place, roughly the size of a baby bear, swung at Jon with the force of a hellfire missile.
Nikki the bartender gasped.
Naturally, Jon ducked.
Mind you, this was all happening in slow motion, because this is a dream and he’s not lucid dreaming, so he can’t control the dream, but he does notice the time dilation.
No time for him to think.
Time sped back up.
The man threw, and missed another punch, extra angered now, he proceeded to pick Jon up and slam him onto the nearest table.
“Ow,” Jon complained.
Soon after the pain a fist was headed directly for his face, but luckily, never connected. Another man, a new man entering the fight, grabbed the wrist of the large man currently straddling Jon and lifted him up as if he was lifting an empty plastic water bottle.
One of the robo_bouncer had just saved Jons life.
A different robo_bouncer helped him up while the robo_bouncer that had just caught the aggressive man carried him outside after injecting him with a 10 minute sleeping aid.
“Thanks man, I don’t know what that was all about.” Jon told the beautifully designed robo_bouncer, he was wearing a skin that look like Ryan Gosling but more attractive, “I was just standing there and he looked at me, got mad, and swung.”
”Sure he did,” the bouncer replied, “let me review the tapes.” A few seconds later. “Oh wow, you’re telling the truth. That never happens, usually someone at least talks shit first.”
A shift happened and Jon woke up in his bed next to a beautiful woman in her mid 40’s, although she could have easily passed for 32. Her eyes slowly peeled open. Noticing Jon was awake she stretched her arms up and out, and, in that, I’m barley awake voice asked, “how did you sleep darling?”
Looking around Jon took notice that he was in her apartment and it seemed to be around the 1930’s based on the style of hats she had hanging on the back of the door. “I got to experience slow motion, and got tackled by a Goliath of a man.”
She chuckled, “you sure have some silly dreams Mr. Constant,” then proceeded to work her way out of bed to make some eggs and toast for the two of them.
