Dream by Orlunu

He listened in vague amusement as his friends talked about their dreams. They claimed to be offering them up to each other for analysis, but he suspected that they were actually competing to appear edgier and more complex than each other. Twisted hellscapes were swapped for tales of absurdity.

He snorted in disbelief. He could only remember one of his dreams and, whilst horrid, it was nowhere near so bizarre and alien as those his friends claimed to have had.

He walked down the corridor in his old house, and found her where one wall fell away to make space for the living room. He saw Moonbright, and he knew that they were together. He lived a happy life here, with his beautiful little wife.

He smiled and walked over to her. As he drew close, however, he realised that she was crying and his face crumpled in sympathy. He raised his hoof towards her face, to get her to look up at him.

“No,” the word stopped him mid-movement. “No. I’m kicking you out. You have to leave.”

He stared at the filly, suddenly out of reach, as she turned her face further away from him.

“Why?” No response. “Moony, why?” A sniffle. “Moony, can’t we talk about this?”

“No. You have to go.”

“Why? You have to let my try to do better.” She stepped back. “I don’t even know what it is. Can’t you give me a chance?” His hoof was still up, reaching for her. “You have to at least tell me why!”

She ran. He knew that she didn’t want him to follow.

He could read that dream well enough himself, and he certainly wasn’t going to let any of his friends read it for him. He carried on listening to their stories, which had reached new heights of ridiculousness.

He was glad that he didn’t dream. One had been more than enough for him.
