So the other night I had a dream. My house was on fire so I walked out to the sidewalk to watch it burn, no, I didn't leave Deanie in the house, she was in New York city with a friend. Some guy walks up and stands beside me. "My house is on fire". I tell him. "I can help you put that out". He says. I can hear the fire truck siren but I know it's not what he means and I know who he is. He's not threatening and I'm not afraid, in fact I'm kind of at ease. "I don't think I want help from you". I say. "Why is that?". He replies. "Well you're kind of evil". I challenge. He smiles at my challenge, "Human beings choose to be evil, they use me as an excuse". "What about guys like Hitler and Stalin?". I asked. "Mao, Pot, Vlad, Khan". He continued, "Are you their judge, they didn't need my help". I decided to take a different course. "You tempted Jesus" I stated. Once again he smiled, "Jesus and I were friends. Let me ask you a question. What is a human being without temptation and trial?" Damn it, I had to wake up, I didn't like the way this guy was making me feel.
