BELLA UNION RECORDS

last night i had a dream that i kidnapped a 14 year old girl and through some kind of twin peaks/black lodge kind of magic stuffed her into a paper lunch bag along with several small photos of her.

i went to hide her and her bag in a some kind of weird flop/punk house for sexual predators and serial killers. i left her there and then returned to my normal life with the intention of visiting her in a few days, presumably to torture her.  at the house when i left was a blond haired 50 year child murderer wearing a maroon sweater.

during the kidnapping i did not physically hurt her but i purposely frightened her as much as i could. there was a constant loud mechanical grinding when we were in the house.

after two days i came to get her but when i looked in the bag i saw that she chewed her way out of the bottom and was no where to be found. the child murderer started screaming and moving around the room faster than humanly possible and then vanished in a deafening roar.

i started to panic that i was going to get caught and called my mother. she came to the house and looked all over for the escaped girl. she told me it would be ok. the police came and found a small clay likeness of the child murderer’s head affixed to the tree outside the door. he was known to the police and i was pounded on the head by them for associating with him as i was still in house.

they made no mention of the girl but then i remembered that i had shot and killed her boyfriend in the chest and stomach with a small black revolver made of rubber.

i woke up several times during this dream and every time i went back to sleep it resumed. when i the alarm went off it was several minutes before i realized that to my great relief i had not actually done these things. this is the 4th or 5th dream lately where i have murdered or tortured someone and have had the same incredible weight lifted when i wake up to find it was not real.
