ROB SMITH’S WORST NIGHTMARE

Have you ever had a really bad dream?

You know the kind I mean. I’m talking about the kind of dream that you wake up screaming from. The kind where you’re so relieved that you find out it’s only been a dream that you want to get down on your knees and thank Gawd - even if you’re a stone atheist.

We all have dreams in which our teeth mysteriously loosen and fall out, or in which we find ourselves falling, or in which we find ourselves naked in front of crowds, or perhaps back in high school or college, with finals fast approaching and absolutely no idea what we were supposed to have been studying. Dreams that wake you with a start, with a foul taste in your mouth. But those are minor-league bad dreams. There are worse, much worse Creatures That Live Under The Bed for most of us...and for each of us, the Ultimate Horror is different.

Take Rob Smith, for example. Ever wonder what Acidman dreams of when he has a really bad dream?

I don’t know...but I have a suspicion as to what it might be.

Gaaaahhhhhh!
