Briar’s Journal (October 29 to November 26, 2013)


Dream Entry*
March 16, 2007

Three puppies, a duck, and all my friends are sitting on the floor of Morzant’s lab, moaning. They have tummy aches from eating too much Halloween candy.

Dr. Flamingo comes into the room.

“I have just the remedy. Read these books and call me in the morning.”

These are the books Dr. Flamingo gives my friends to help them feel better.

* The dream entries from Briar’s journal contain premonitions of books that will be published in the future. Briar’s dream self foresees the books’ summaries and knows which will likely appeal to each of her friends. Briar always wakes up before she can see whether her friends will enjoy the books.
