Nightmares become real

You know that exhilaration you feel when something exciting yet dangerous is about to occur? That is how I felt, my whole body coursing with zings of energy. My breath was coming faster, in part anticipation but also part fear. My lips parted and in one exhale, I sealed my fate. "Yes" I would bitterly regret those words later, as I stood outside in the freezing weather, chaffing my hands across my forearms in an attempt to stay warm. Of course, I wasn't thinking about that now. All I was thinking of was keeping this feeling alive. I wanted to experience the danger I could feel coursing off of this man. My family stood around us, all with different emotions flickering across their face. I could tell they wanted to say something, but none of them uttered a word. In fact, the last thing I would hear from any of them was the long, tortured sigh of my grandmother as she resigned herself to let me go. --- This is only a Smidgen of a dream I had the other night. The dream was both exhilirating and frightening. I wasn't sure how to condense each part of the dream down into "mylot" size so instead chose to describe my emotions during the early part of the dream. Later in the dream I'd come to realize my grave error in judgement.
