Dream

I fell through a hole in a dream. It took me months to get back. When
I did, I discovered that my son had disappeared and that a stranger was
living in my house. I could hear him breathing in the humid blackness.
Creeping out to the bamboo veranda, I reached into my hiding place and
pulled out my hidden bottle of rum. After a bit, I unzipped myself and
peed into the river running swiftly below. It was so dark.

loved it: holes to slip into, disappearing characters, humidity, stragers hiding in your home, bamboo verandas and the always creative river of rum running swiftly below the zippered moon.
