Drabble challenge 8/23—"escape" (modified excerpt from an lj entry)
I was dreaming about something pleasant when, as dreams will do, it became an episode of Night Court. Odd, there were no familiar cast members--only an unfamiliar janitor, and the "set" was a public restroom. A woman or young girl had somehow slipped into a pipe and was caught. I don't know whether head-down or not, but suddenly it became imperative to wake up, because if I dreamt anymore I'd discover the trapped person was me. I had to get up, out of bed, because if I fell back asleep I'd dream it again, and it was horribly frightening.
