...in that moment of slumber between dream and reality the most vivid thoughts occur, some are luscious, and other are frightening, but seldom do they fail to entertain. These notions swirled through my cotton stuffed brain, as I focused my eyes on the path that my moccasin clad feet were stumbling on.
Smells of wet forest and campfires met my nose, and my own smells of Lightfoots soap and Clubman cologne were replaced by pine and hickory smoke. I could feel my toes moving in the softest doeskin shoes, my feet melting silently over every root and rock on the path as I walked along. If this was a dream it was more vivid and real than much of my life had been before. I seemed comfortable in my surroundings and I noticed for the first time that my garb now consisted of my new found shoes and a matching loin cloth, also of the same butter soft doeskin.
Perhaps what I thought of as my real life was the dream and this was reality. I looked down over my body and was aware of its red brown color, not unlike autumnal trees. I felt leaner and also oddly hairless, but as I thought this, my hand instinctively tossed my long black hair aside. Before any of this could really sink in though I heard a change in the woods about me, a lack of sound from the squirrel and birds, and a faint odor of fire, not the camp fire that I was accustomed to.
