One week later, the man again goes into his son`s room to wish him goodnight. His son is having another nightmare - the man again wakes his son. The son this time says that he had dreamt that daddy had died. The father assures the son that he is OK and sends the boy to bed. The man goes to bed but cannot sleep because he is so terrified. The next day, the man is scared for his life - he is sure is going to die. After dressing he drives very cautiously to work, in case of a collision. He doesn`t eat lunch because he is scared of food poisoning. He avoids everyone for he is sure he will somehow be killed. He jumps at every noise, starts at every movement and hides under his desk. Finally, his day is over and he goes home to his wife and family. He steps through the front door and says to his wife, "I`ve just had the worst day of my entire life!" "You think your day was bad," she replies. "The postman dropped dead on the doorstep this morning." |
