Book Hooks – Dream Fragments!

by J.J. DiBenedetto

Welcome to my stop on this week’s Book Hooks hop! I’ve got something a little bit different this week.  It’s a snippet from one of the short pieces in my DREAM FRAGMENTS collection.  This particular story takes place ten years before the beginning of the first book of the Dream Series, DREAM STUDENT.  And the narrator is…well, he’s a little bit different, too…

This box is very small.  I do not like it.  I do not like it.  I do not like it!

I hear people.  They are very loud.  The other people were loud, too.  I was scared of them.  They yelled when I pooped in the house.  I don’t want to poop in the house.  But I have to poop.  If I poop in this box, they will yell at me.  I will be BAD.  I don’t want to be BAD!

Something is happening!  I hear a person.  She is right outside the box.  She is loud, like the other people.  But her loud does not hurt my ears like the other people.  She is opening the box.  She is opening the box!  She is opening the box!
