The Gate: Lock-Dreads

Narration of a campus-area paper-boy hypnotized by a social-house building and daydreaming of its compositional drywall(s).

A fantasy-humor vignette inspired by Tales from the Darkside: The Movie. Enjoy,

I've been a new paper-boy in the area of the campus of a New England school, and every Saturday morning, I ride my bike past this once rather conspicuous looking American social-house called 'BG' and can't help wonder who's the members of such a place. My curiosity is destroying me, because this looks like such a 'typica' college campus social-house. I need to know immediately who're its members/participants/alumni.

I once drove my bike by that BG-house and saw two dropped amazing Irish-Indian (not sure which country the pieces originate!) red-green earrings/jewelry. It'd been to a girl who'd visited the BG-bouse, but as a guest first-time or regular friend of the house-circle? It was the jewelry that I found while riding my paper-boy bike by the house/building itself, and now I'm even more obsessed with determining who're its members/participants/alumni.

Then, I had a very strange dream-sleep in which I 'envisioned' during a Halloween-time costume party at the BG-house, an apparition from old Europe appeared in front of the house-door with a crown and royal robe (or costume of one!) and offered me a glass of lemonade before closing the front-door which was combo-button locked.

The next day I took my jacks-toys and sat in front of the front-lawn of the BG-house and just sat and played and played and played jacks until I saw someone (perhaps a member/participant/alumni!) exit the house with some identifying clue/evidence/proof that the individual is linked to the BG-circle.

To this day, I still wonder if that dream-image of a 'Euro-monarch apparition' held some real metaphysical significance regarding the compositional quality/mystery of the members/participants/alumni and friends of the BG-circle! Should I regard the apparition-dream image as some premonition that I should forget this obsession and just keep being the happy Saturday area paper-boy I've been for some time. Of course you know what my mom said when I told her about this 'data' dream --- "Study hard to get into such a respected school and become a member of BG, boy!"
