“Jim, we picked you up in your dream. We had been chasing you for a month now. But somehow we could not get you, you always slipped.” Mr duke continued, “don’t worry you sleeping like a little baby in your apartment, we have you here in your dreams.”
Jim felt more uncomfortable, he couldn’t speak, he tried but stuttered and the words didn’t seem to leave his mouth. “Don’t worry Jim we would only have you here for a while.” Mr Duke opened the front door that led to the small garden and offered to walk after Jim. Jim thought of running away, Mr Duke smiled and without looking at Jim said, “don’t bother thinking about it”. “You can’t run, the farther you try to get from us the more closer we would get to you”. Jim nearly broke down and begged Mr Duke to let him go.
Mr Duke ignore him and walked about admiring the freshly blossomed lilies in long flower bed. Then he broke the silence, “Jim we want you to dream. Dreams of hope and belief and love for the human race”. Jim managed to say “but why?” Mr Duke turned around and looked Jim straight into the eyes and smiled, “Jim you have the ability and we want you to do it each and every night and save the human race from damnation and in return you would get the best sleep”.
Jim woke up feeling much better. He stretched his arm and picked up his table clock. It was 8 AM; Jim had time to snooze for another hour before he join the rush hour. He remembered everything vividly, he walked to the looking-glass in the bathroom and touched his face. He looked good and he was looking forward to the new dream job.
