Pablo’s Sidetime Beach Walk
Pablo decided to take a slow walk along the beach to wake himself up.
He felt like he was still inside sidetime.
Not fully awake, and yet not fully asleep.
He felt groggy.
It was nice.
It was calm.
He felt good.
He started to take a long walk along the sand to refresh his mind.
There was something from his dream that he could not quite remember.
It was a feeling.
It was an idea.
It was something in the background.
Something he could not quite reach.
He did not want to wake up too quickly, so he was not trying too hard to remember it.
But it was there.
A feeling.
A message from the dream.
Something that felt like it would be good to know.
Something that would be good to remember.
