The Mad Prophet
I dreamt of the mad prophet ...again. I dreamt of him, and I saw him. I saw him...in a mirror... in my dream. I saw him and I saw his eyes... the fire that burnt in his eyes...his fire and his madness. I saw him and he looked at me. He spoke to me as I looked him. He asked me who I was... if I was the voice in his head. I told him I was a dream, and that he was in my dream. He laughed, and he told me that mad men do not dream. I told him I was not mad..but he replied that he was mad. That he was mad and could not dream. I asked him if he was the prophet I knew. He said that he did not know. That how could he be a prophet... if he did not dream...since he was mad... and mad men did not dream. He spoke to me and laughed at me. He laughed at me because I did not know... that mad men did not dream.

wow dude, quite troubling... what inspired you?
Ore wa, are you losing the plot? You are begining to confuse even me...who was dreaming and who is truly mad? Is it true that mad men do not dream or are they simply unable to distinguish between reality and imagination? I no know...it's too early.
morning,

Haba! No need to call my people yet! I am not running mad.. or dreaming mad... If the piece was a painting... I imagine it wld be a surrealistic impression... modern art! or junk...
Scribe...
I have always been fascinated by dreams and madness... Most great dreamers are labelled madmen...at some point. D whole existentialism/reality bla bla bla...if u woke up in ur town and discovered that everybody apart from u had "ran mad"...who would be the mad man?

Hi! thanks so much for your words and suggestions. really appreciated them.
i switched between 1st person and 3rd person narrative because, as the story goes on, i want to weave the husband's thoughts and feelings too into the story. i see how i want it all to work out in my head, so its putting the word down now that matter
and lol, yes you would eventually find out what happened at the end of the story but thats still a long way to go isnt it?
