| In this society, dreams were one of the biggest past-times for people. Like movies, people were able to select any dream from a dream list. They joined in the dreams as a protagonist, or act as superheroes, or even tragic heroines. Of course, even if he or she was killed by pirates, the next morning they would wake up without any injuries. He was excited before going to bed. In his hand, there was a list of dreams. He dreamed last night of an adventure romance. In the dream, he went to a ruined castle and fought ghosts, and rescued a princess. But, his dream didn't finish good. When he was about to kiss the princess, he was awoken by his wife. She said that because he had looked sad she woke him up. But he knew he must have looked happy and his wife became jealous about it. Actually, his wife's jealousy escalated recently. Using a special machine, she sometimes entered his dreams. One time, his wife disguised herself as a princess. He didn't realize it until he was about to kiss her. Fortunately he realized it was his wife and stopped kissing. Tonight he chose one of the dreams from the list, put the machine on his head, then went to bed. Soon he entered the dream. Today, his choice was a science fiction dream. Seven members of the crew including him
He was the captain of the ship. Of the members, there was a cute, smart woman, who was a science professor. At first, he wondered if she was his wife; but he had second thoughts because his wife isn't as smart as her. The woman loves Einstein, his wife loves comics; his wife couldn't play the professor's role. Their ship approached the planet. To change the course of the planet, they shot special missiles, but the course didn't change. They only had one missile remaining. The Earth became closer and closer. He announced, "The missiles didn't hit at the point we calculated. The missile's auto driving system didn't work because of the planet's strong magnetic force. There was only one way left. Somebody manually operates the missile to the point. The somebody should be me as the commander of this ship and this mission. Before hitting, I'll escape." There was a dead silence. They all knew it was impossible to escape from the explosion. There was a female voice, "You need an assistant." It was the female professor. He rejected the idea but she insisted. He had to agree with her because he knew he needed assistance for precise work. The missile with the two crew members was proceeding straight to the planet. He said, "I'm sorry. I ended up involving you." He grabbed her hand. "This is my wish from the bottom of my heart." She grabbed back. They kissed. The planet was just in front of them, it was like a huge demon … He slowly opened his eyes. It took a while until he realized he was in his bed on the Earth. Gradually, he started to feel a sense of fulfillment. They saved the Earth! He looked next to him, of course the woman wasn't there. Instead, his wife was sleeping. He tried to concentrate on remembering the scene with the woman. Soon, his wife woke up and smiled at him, "I'd like to prepare a good breakfast. Good job to us, Captain, huh?" (The End) |
