Eerie Indiana Drabble: Disturbed Sleep

[froodle]

Marshall Teller did not bolt upright when catapulted from sleep. His eyes opened, and he rolled onto his back to stare the dark grey spot above him that the rising sun would eventually resolve into the lumpy, inexpertly-applied paint job on his bedroom ceiling.

Not all dreams were prophetic. Every nightmare didn't come true. And of those he'd had that did hold some warning or hint for the future, most of them were jumbled images of things he'd already known, or suspected, or worked out on his own.

Marshall Teller lay in the pre-dawn darkness, and told himself these things.
