Part One

Nigel looked at Sydney and thought she never looked more beautiful. She had on a Royal Blue evening gown and her hair draped in loose curls down he back.

Candlelight flickered across her face as she turned and walked slowly toward him. Without a word she put her arms around his neck and drew him into a passionate kiss. Nigel's senses came alive in that moment, he was in love with Sydney and the feel of her lips on his was almost more than he could stand. In all of time he had spent with her he never imagined she could feel the same way about him that he felt for her.

As the kiss continued Nigel had the strange sensation of feathery kisses and caresses all over his body. Slowly the hold of the dream began to fade, but the feelings continued. Nigel reluctantly opened his eyes and to his horror realized that it was not kisses he was feeling, but something more terrifying. In the dim moonlight filtering through the drapes Nigel saw that the covers of his bed were moving by themselves and as he lifted them he realized he was covered with hundreds of snakes. He jumped out of bed with a scream and ran to the bedroom door brushing his hands through his hair and over his body.

Fighting back the terror he was feeling he slowly reached over for the light switch and quickly turned it on. "What the." he said in disbelief as he now looked at his empty bed.

Nigel walked into the kitchen still shaking "It was a dream, It was just a dream" he keep telling himself and he pored some water. After he had time to calm down he started to remember how the dream had started and smiled to himself. The first half of the dream had been wonderful, even magical his dream come true, but then it had become a nightmare.

Nigel felt himself shiver at the thought of how the dream had ended and reluctanly crept back to his bedroom. Slowly still afraid of what he might see he peered around the door frame and as before his bed was still empty not a snake in sight.

A strange buzzing sound startled him awake and he realized it was the faint sound of his alarm coming from his bedroom. After checking the room he still could not get the horrific images out of his mind and ended up sleeping on his small couch. As Nigel got up he knew that it had been a mistake, he had a crick in his neck and his back did not feel much better. As Nigel entered the bedroom he glanced at his clock and realized he was going to be late so he took a quick shower, dressed and rushed into work.
