Enough with the Hannibal Lecter dreams already, okay, guys?

912 words between last night and this morning. I'll make my 1k today, looks like, but I'm not going to try for much more than that, because 4,000 words is a lot and my hands aren't sure they love me anymore.

Eee - Hannibal Lecter dream? Share?

Well, if you're sure.

Ironically, it started out as an MfU dream. Illya'd been trapped by the bad guys in a barn, and he was digging around in the hayloft looking for a way out or a weapon or something, and he uncovered a car--30s era four-door sedan type thing. And in the car, he found the dead bodies of a woman and at least two children. Whereuupon, I got the flashback of how they ended up dead in that car, which was basically Lecter, having killed the father and other children and family dog, let them think they could escape, let them think he'd forgotten about the car in the barn. But when they were in it, it wouldn't start. And he sat on the hood and watched them die--not sure whether it was asphyxiation or what, but it took a while, and he had them so utterly terrified that they sat there and died without trying to get out of the car.

Dunno if Illya made it out of the barn all right. I hope so.

Oh *wow*. That's ... creepy, about the car. But so very Lecter. Nice in-character work in your dream, there!

I'll take them. I don't have enough Lecter in my life.
