171- I Saw Myself Running -2

Tired of the everyday grind, ever dream of a life of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all, we offer you... Escape! Escape! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

You are standing in inky blackness, looking up a long flight of stairs, At the top of which lurks something unbelievably evil, while in the moving shadows behind you, coming closer to you, is the shadowy figure of something that could only come from a nightmare.

Listen now, as escape brings you Anthony Ellis's terrifying story, I saw myself running! Who threw the magazine section, sweetie? No, it's alright.

Yes. Well, none of you know. No, you haven't. Thanks. Want a woman's badge? No, thanks. Buddy. Mm-hmm. I had the strangest dream last night. Oh? Anybody we know? Don't be funny. If you stop reading for a minute, I'll tell you about it.

Okay. I was scared. Why didn't you wake me up? Why would you have done any good? It's a funniest thing. It was a nightmare, I guess. You know, the kind where you see yourself running away from something, up in somebody?

Too much beer. I want to ask you. It's very important. Not darling. Do you notice how sometimes in a dream, everything is happening to you and then suddenly you find yourself standing there watching it?

Watching yourself and you say to yourself, it's a dream and I do have to be frightened because in a minute I'll wake up. I guess so. Something like that I guess. Well, last night, a lot of other nights, Freddy.

It's been different. It starts the same way, like any other dream, I suppose, but then I'm running away. Somebody I don't know is following me me and then there are two of us both me running.
