Rock Star Failure

It's pretty vague but I had to perform a duet in front of a large stadium-style audience, I believe in an educational institution. The person I was performing with was a famous female rock star who looked an awful lot like the girl I went to prom with in real life. I got my cello. We both knew the song we were performing but as I walked out on stage in the bright lights I realized we had not practiced together. And we sounded like crap. It was more her fault than me. But I was really bummed out.

I went to my basement and sulked with a friend. This weird rock star girl sat outside my window smoking cigarettes and carving initials into a tree. I watched her, not thinking she could see me. But then she looked up and said, "I know you're watching me."

rodent creature

i opened a dresser drawer and inside were what looked like milkweed pods facing down. four in a row, from largest in the front to smallest in the back. i used some inanimate poking object to overturn the first one. when i did, a rodent-like creature sprung out of it and skittered around the whole house. at some point i was able to get a good look at it while it was standing still. it had a furry face and large-ish ears, a skeletal body (seriously, just bones) and a long tail. oh, and the best part? it had a freakishly long, skinny trunk. yes, like an elephant. but realllllly skinny and reallllly long. it curved upward. i feel like there was mutual hatred between myself and this thing but i didn't want to kill it. i was just disgusted by it and thought it was going to hurt me. i woke up and tried to draw the creature and it didn't so much turn out.
