Mr. Macmillan #3
    While Mr. Macmillan was sleeping he often found himself imagining to be an eagle.  Although the idea of imagining oneself as a creature is not in and of itself odd it was the detail of which his dreams always contained that was remarkable.  Mr. Macmillan would soon discover in and outside of sleep that he was a very special individual.  In the air he soared higher above the clouds than any other creature, including those of his kind, the flutter of his wings for instance was very powerful undulating the sky itself.  He reflected on where it was he was leaving from and going to and learned that he was on the lam from a very dark conniving creature, and seeking out solace in the cherubim and seraphim above.  Mr. Macmillan was not sure why he led such a surreptitious life, nor why his own life had been shrouded from his awareness.  Some details would insinuate that Mr. Macmillan had subconsciously done these things in order to protect himself, the truth was nonetheless still hidden.  In order to further decipher the meaning of his dream Mr. Macmillan decided to put the kibosh on the current first person perspective of the flying creature, while allowing it to still happen for the purpose of analysis.  As he stepped outside of himself he was required to capitulate his majestic role, and began to see the bird as if it were on a movie screen, but yet much more life-like and realistic.  He discovered that his own heart very much associated with the bird even from this new perspective, and he couldn’t understand why his own complexion was so foreign.  Mr. Macmillan was a tall man, not so tall that he was a social anomaly but rather a height of authority.  He did not have the feathers that he often dreamt of having but rather a bold tan appearance that spoke both to a non-explicit origin and comfortable familiarity to people of all kinds.  He was often annoyed at the blithering comments made of those around himself, however he was a very empathic and caring person.  Mr. Macmillan also had a strange mark on his throat as if to suggest that he had at one time or another gone through a reconstructive enhancement of the larynx. All details of which, contained the likelihood of confounding any conclusions one would make of the man.  He was indeed convincing himself as he watched himself as a bird that life really should be more like this, that our relationship with the world around us should be just what he saw, impacting.  He saw the influence of the waves created by the force of his wings, and it amazed him.  As he thought he heard his own words as if they were being spoken to him “such fascinating things could not just be fantasy, there has to be some meaning behind it all, what use would it be otherwise.”
     Once again Mr. Macmillan drifted off into an even deeper sleep.
