Letting My Hair Down

PROMPT November 9th

You are having a very realistic dream. In this dream, you are approaching a castle. What unusual reason do you have to be at this castle? What do you say to the two guards standing outside it to gain entrance?

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

Guards: "Halt! Who goes there?"

         Me: "Huh? You can see quite clearly that it's me. Let me in."

         Guards:"Do you have a castle pass?"

         Me : "What's that? Is it a ticket, or something? Did I miss the ticket agent?"

         Guards:"None shall pass."

         Me: "None like no one? I'm a somebody I assure you. Announce my presence, you'll see."

         Guards:"There's a list, a privileged list."

         Me:"Am I dreaming? I did not waltz over here for the sake of my health. I was summoned."

         Guards:"You couldn't have been. The Royal Summoner was called away."

         Me: "He spoke to me a day ago."

         Guards: "He's a mute."

         Me:"Oh, that's unfortunate. Someone requested I make an appearance. Is there a secondary Summoner? Maybe a Sub-Summoner?"

         Guards:"Well, there's Bob."

         Me:" Great, What does Bob do?"

         Guards:"Bob's a floater. I think today he's ringing the bell."

         Me: "Up in the turret? I'm here to check the bats in the belfry. Can you get in touch with him?"

         Guards:" Nope. Rapunzel's away, too."

         Me:"Rapunzel? The one with the long hair? What's she got to do with Bob?"

         Guards:" He's trapped up there. Rapunzel pulled him up."

         Me:" Do you not have a ladder? Isn't there one lying about since the last storming?"

         Guards:"Storming of this castle is prohibited. The local union frowns upon such unnecessary action. Basically, we stand here, look stern and deny entry."

         Me:"This doesn't make any sense."

         Guards:"We're just extras in your dream. We don't know what to tell you. Maybe you meant to visit another castle?"

         Me:"That could be a possibility. My vehicle needs a new windshield. Before I fell asleep I was leafing through the yellow pages of the phone book. I believe there's a Castle Auto Glass. That doesn't explain the bats though.

         Guards:" Don't make us say it lady. Your dream, your crazy thoughts. Come on, you know. Bats in the belfry?"
