The Dreaming Wager Joseph D Smith
I was once faced with my truest form, the one who keeps me alive while I sleep, but it was no mere dream... I have always wanted to know who I really am, and I knew that there was only one option to finding out, I had to wager with my subconscious mind!
The night was as every night goes, the room was silent and dimly lit. I never remember how I go into dream land, so I will get right to the point; I fell asleep. I found myself face to face with a martial-arts master, mid-aged, and every bit of a man.
I thought to myself, �Who could that be?� and the man had given me an answer, which strangely coincided with my question. I looked at him and I asked him out-loud, �How did you know the answer when I didn't even ask?�, then he smirked.
�You are clever.�, he remarked. I then became lucid, this was a dream. I found my confidence, and so I toyed with my dream character. �I know who you are.�, a grin came across my face. �So you do?�, he hastily expressed.
I had to think fast; �I'd like to make a little wager with you!�, this stopped him dead in his tracks. �What kind of wager?�, he replied. �I want to battle you in a match of mixed martial arts, and if I win, then you must tell me who you are, in every little detail!�, my adversary grinned, as he knew he had an unimaginable advantage, inside of this dream world!
�I accept!�, he then proceeded to prepare. He signals; �Bring it on!�, and the battle was on! I made my first move with a punch, which he was able to prepare, where he then tried to grapple and throw me, but to no avail; although he did manage to knock me down with a deathly punch. I got back up, then I proceeded to kick, which he also blocked. He landed another one, right in my jaw!
�You know you can't win!�, he was almost right, but I quickly took control! I shape-shifted into a blob, surrounding him! He was fighting me something fierce, who then almost broke free, but then I consumed the whole dream world!
�Alright! I quit! I give! I give!�, he pleaded. I let him go, as now he had some explaining to do. �You wanna know who I am?�, he scornfully conceited. �Tell me every little detail.�, I neutrally replied.
His fading voice echoed, �I...am...God...� ...
