The Death of Somnia

Submitted to Contest #113

06:45 Jericho, Oxford Samia screamed and came round with a start. Her heart was racing and her head felt heavy and sweaty. She shivered, the clock was on 6:45 damn it, forty-five minutes before her alarm should have gone off. After that dream, she could not go back to sleep. She got out of bed with a huff and stomped downstairs. ‘Samia, sweetheart, you look like you got dragged through a hedge backwards and it’s only 6:45 am’ Sally said hand on her hips ‘Please don’t tell me you have just come in?’ ‘No Sal I have been in all night.

What the hell? Where am I? I was laying in a strange bed, I feel my head it is throbbing. I feel my mouth is dry and my throat is sore. My vision was blurred and everything seemed to be out of focus. I was in a dark room very old looking. As my vision tried to normalise I saw the old-timey paisley wallpaper on the wall and the air smelt a sickly and overpowering shade of lily, there was also the smell of something medicinal or clinical, I could not make it out.

Author bio

Dean Hodsfry - The Man

Dean has been writing since he was in his late teens just over 20 years ago. Born and bred in rural South Wales. Dean would spend most of his evenings in his bedroom, creating all sorts of weird and crazy ideas both for his writing and for his hobbies. Dean drew on the rolling welsh hills of his home town for some of his inspiration.

Dean left his homeland in the early 00's, to seek better employment. On his travels he had met a young girl and decided to move to Oxfordshire to be with her. He has currently been married since 2005 to that same girl and she is fully behind him with his writing and has even started working on her own story. Dean has a young daughter who is two year's old.

Currently Dean is living with his wife in the lovely town of Chipping Norton, although fully employed he does dedicate some his time to writing and has several projects on the go at the moment. More of which he has added at the bottom of this page

Dean Hodsfry - The Writer
Dean always had a flair, for enchanting and sometimes brutal writing. He is currently a member of West Oxfordshire Writers and was on the committee for Chipping Norton Literary Festival 2012. Dean is also associated with the Brit Writers Association. Whilst Dean's writing sometime causes offence it is always well written and thought provoking.

Dean usually writes short ghost stories but has ventured into flash fiction. They are imaginative and have a twist that is unexpected. Dean likes to keep his reader guessing and on their toes so the twist has even-more power than usual.
