a story, of sorts

(Note: this is all backstory. To skip directly to the sort of story, please click on the lj cut) I was going to take a nap this afternoon. I laid down with every intention of taking a nap. But then the phone rang. I got up to answer it, and found that it was an hour later. I had the unsettling feeling that I really had been asleep, because I had wisps of dreams that faded away even as I tried to grasp them. I had been skimming the surface of sleep without realizing it. Being the sort of person I am, I sketched the idea with words.
