My book is about a man (me) played by Chester Hurley. The book is pretty much a semi-autobiogaphical tale where Chester falls
from a tree and goes into a coma. The doctors tell his loved ones
to play his favorite songs to help him snap out of his coma. The doctors also use an experimental drug on Chester. The drug makes Chet have very lucid dreams. This is what Chet dreams about when his wife Sue (my wife's middle name) plays,
SUNSET GRILL DON HENLEY
"Dear Diary,
Why do I always start off this thing by writing, Dear Diary? Who else am I going to write to? My Mother/ I wonder how mom is getting along? I miss my ten brothers and sisters too. I wonder if they have a more interesting name than Rex? Auh, listen I'm not complaining but maybe I'd like to be called Hercules or Napoleon okay, okay Rex is fine.
"I had an exciting day today, I slept on the couch and then in my own bed. Later I made the paperboy jump. I'm small but my bark is big. I'm half French and half English so don't piss me off pal. I am the best and I know it. It helps to write in this diary because I love to reflect on Fluffy and Katie next door. Those two English Terrier's make me do more than just reflect if ya know what I mean, diary. There is no rain in sight so I hope my dad takes me up to the Sunset Grill tonight. I hear the garage door opening. I gotta go.
Entry II (next day)
"Dear Diary,
I went to the bar last night. I wish my dad would pick a different watering hole to go to because the linoleum floor at the Grill is cold and dirty. Anyway, Fluffy and Katie didn't show up I had to sit and listen to Brutus. He lives behind us. All he talked about is how his new drapes look in his new pad. Brutus seems a little strange if you ask me, diary. I'll write more tomorrow.
Entry III
"Dear Diary,
My dad ahs been working late so he doesn't seem to want to take me out on the town. That's cool thought because he did let me run around in the backyard. I saw Fluffy in her yard and she was chatting with Brutus through her fence! Dag, I can't handle her talking with another male. I like Katie too but Fluffy is da bomb.
Entry IV
"Dear Diary,
I can't believe what happened tonight at the Sunset Grill. I walked in with my dad and flopped on the old lino floor. I fell asleep and began to dream. I dreampt about Fluffy. We where in this big field and we where tossing our tennis balls back and forth, laughing the whaole time and then, dear diary, I got real close to Fluffy. We made love under an old oak tree.
I woke up because some dope spilled beer right by my head. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a woman at the other end of the bar. It looked like Fluffy but I couldn't be sure. I got up and almost chocked to death until my dad let me go. Yes, yes it is Fluffy! I saw her standing there taqlking with another man! it was Brutus dear diary. I had to break up this conversation fast. I can see why Fluffy would be interested in a Great Dane though. You know the saying, "once you go Great Dane you never go back."
I went right up to Brutus and said, "Listen you barking-all night-pain in my ass I love Fluffy" and I and I, I didn't know what else to say dear diary with my mouth hanging open. "Hey neighbor! I was just complimenting Fluffy on how her collar matches her eyes. I loved the way you ran over her big boy. I thought maybe you wanted to get together with me." Brutus moved closer to me. Fluffy giggled. "Listen sugar I know you don't swing that way so I'll leave you two alone. Tell Katie I love her new dew Fluffy."
Brutus pranced over to Spike, an Irish Wolfhound that moved in down the street a couple of weeks ago. I looked Fluffy in the eye and smelled her butt right in the bar dear diary. "Hey not here Rex." Fluffy moved away. "How in the heck could you not know Brutus is gay?"
"Well I did kind of wonder about how he got all excited about his new curtains in his doghouse." Fluffy came over and whispered in my ear. "I love CacaPoo's like you."
I grew up in this small town and I remember people bringing their dogs into this dive bar so this is what I would dream up while in a coma. "Down at the Sunset Grill."
