My bruv, Rab, was extremely hungover after a week or so of drunkenness. One day he decides enough is enough and goes on the wagon. Not gradually, he just stopped drinking.
He went to bed sober but hungover, jittery, and generally in the horrors. He woke up at 3am. and was alarmed to notice a very large dog standing by his bed. This wasn't an ordinary beastie. It's about 5 feet tall and is staring down at him. And it's drooling. And growling. He tries to wake his wife but is paralysed by fear, so only manages to make ineffectual whimpering noises. Just as he decides his end has come he wakes up, properly this time. He lies there feeling intense relief as he realises it was just a nightmare.
Then the dog walks into the bedroom and confronts him again. Salivating, growling red eyed monster dog from hell! Then he wakes up again but into the room bounds his canine playmate! And so on, all night.
If you don't think this is scary, read it when you have a hangover! If this ever happens to you, chrissakes have a drink!
Riddler...How's the head, Rab?
