I Spoke Too Soon

[poliphilo]

I wrote a few days back- in a conversation about Inception- that there was no gunplay in my dreams. But that was then...

Last night I was being pursued by a hitman. I was hiding behind a slender concrete pillar- too slender to offer complete protection- and I could see him at the far side of the park, standing in a crowd that was watching some kind of public performance or display. He had spotted me too and was pointing his pistol straight at me. I was holding a rifle but it was a toy and no use except to be bluffing with.

It's something I've never experienced in my dreams- swordplay yes, gunplay no which says quite a lot about the 17th century stuck in my mind, I suppose.

For someone who is essentially a pacifist, I have an unhealthy fascination with guns...

Also a pacifist, but a military historian as you know.
