Sparing Bonnie Hunt |
|
Finally, at long last,
I had a weird dream. It was bizarre. It was strange. It followed no timeline
nor plot. It was, as I love my dreams to be, just a random bombardment
of colorful images and half-assed attempts at the most random of activities.
So, here we go.
Noah, a friend of
mine that I work with, was the leader of the rest of the people I work
with, myself included, in an assault on Hollywood. There was this one,
central boulevard, upon which there were dozens upon dozens of clubs.
These clubs are regularly visited by Hollywood's elite, and for whatever
reason, Noah had had enough of it.
At the time our little
troop took position at the far end of the boulevard it was late, and the
clubs' patrons were spilling out into the street, hailing cabs and getting
into waiting limosines.
Noah raised his right
hand slowy, and as it reached the apex of its climb, Noah shouted aloud,
"SHOGUNS!"
With that battle command
now cried, we stampeded down the street. Noah led the charge, straight
down the double yellow line that defined the middle of the road, with
Aaron no more than ten steps behind him. Chris scrubbed his way up the
length of the sidewalk on the right, and I the sidewalk on the left.
By the time we reached
the little huddled mass of emptying clubs, each of us withdrew very long,
very white, and yet paper thin swords, and began taking down celebrities.
The slaughter was clean and swift, every cut fatal, and every cut swift.
Just as a reached
Club Mecca, a club with a black front facade or cubist design, I stopped
dead in my tracks. Bonnie
Hunt, a woman that's spent her career mastering the sidekick and supporting
actress roles, exits the club into the midst of mass hysteria. As soon
as I recognized who she was, stepping over the freshly laid mounds of
the bleeding dead, I stopped, moved her up against the wall of the club,
and shielded her with my body from the flying aftermath of Aaron's bloody
fury.
"Bonnie Hunt!
Wow! What a pleasure meeting you," I shouted at her. "I can't
believe it. Bonnie Hunt. As I live and breath. I'm such a huge fan."
She was stunned, and
knew not what was reall happening, and just nervously smiled at a large
man with blooded striped across his face and a massive yet amazingly thin
sword dragged behind him.
"Bonnie, can
I call you Bonnie? Bonnie, I'm going to let you go free." I walked
up to a cab that was pinned in between fallen celebrities and a van. Opening
the door, I leaned in and told the cabbie to drive over the bodies, and
to get Bonnie Hunt out of the area. I led Bonnine in by the hand, shut
the door caringly behind her, and waved as she was driven off.
Then, as if a light
in my head suddenly switched on again, I reacquainted myself with the
purpose of the blade in my hand, and returned to my duties.
