Hackett has a serious problem and his therapist by
the name of Loebner is not helping at all.
Hackett has told him again and again that his dream every night is always
the same. Hackett dreams that a mysterious
caller rings him up and tells him he
has to drive to Cleveland. In his dream he gets dressed and goes out to his car
where a briefcase is waiting for him on the passenger seat. He drives the
briefcase to Cleveland and then drives back. Since the very real drive takes
four hours to get there and four hours to get back it is exhausting.
Hackett needs help and Loebrer isn’t doing much to
help him. Telling his dream over and over again isn’t doing any good. Something
has to change.
This is one of those short stories where one thinks
it is going to go one way and instead it goes in a far different direction. Once
that is accomplished author Lawrence Block ups the ante by throwing in a couple
of more twists. Cleveland in My Dreams is a fast and ultimately very funny
read.
This short story e-book also includes Chapter One of
the new book The Burglar Who Counted Spoons.
