Dream Master Nightmare: Part 6

By THERESA BRESLIN, Illustrator DAVID WYATT

Cy's voice faltered for a second. He had just remembered that his Dream Master had warned him that he should NEVER switch characters or storylines in the middle of a dream.

"Stories are very powerful things," the little man had once told him. "Don't mess with them, or it can end up an absolute disaster. Look what happened with the Titanic."

"But that actually did really happen," Cy had protested.

The Dream Master had shuddered. "Exactly," he said.

Thank goodness the little dwarf wasn't here to criticize him, thought Cy. Helped by his own tiny pience of torn dreamsilk Cy was managing just fine on his own. Who needed the crabby dwarf with his dreamcloak? Now ... if he could get a minute"s peace from this girl ... Already she was opening her mouth to speak again. Cy held up his hand. "Shush," he said, "until I think up what happens next."
