K3.) Tommy's Dream

It was a late night for Tommy Higgins, who prior to going to bed found out that his dad had been killed in an automobile accident. Most people would be upset to hear this news but not Tommy. Ever since Tommy’s little brother was born his father and him didn’t get along. The two spent most of their time arguing about Tommy’s attitude and Selfishness. His father didn’t appreciate how he never shared with his little brother, so when he had enough he decided to take away Tommy’s toys until he could learn to share. Ever since that day Tommy had resented his father. Tommy had never meant to be selfish or rude; he just wanted his father’s attention. So, hearing that his father had died wasn’t that upsetting for him, seeing as they didn’t have a great relationship in the first place. As Tommy went further into his sleep, he began to dream of his father and him playing baseball out In the front of the house. The two were as happy as could be and didn’t have a care in the world. What Tommy didn’t realize was that he was sleepwalking and everything he was dreaming about he was actually doing. He crept out his window baseball bat In hand, and luckily was on the first floor so he didn’t fall to his death. Tommy believed it was just a dream, but outside he stood swinging a bat and talking to thin air. It was the best night of Tommy’s life; he finally received the love and attention he always wanted from his father. Tommy finally felt as though his father cared and his brother didn’t always come first in his heart. When they finished baseball, Tommy awoke from his dream realizing he had slept walk and climbed back in through his window and then climbed back into bed and fell fast asleep.
