Deathlist Dreaming
JQW replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I had a recent dream which involved five celebrity deaths on the same day, all being somewhat controversial individuals. The first two were Bernie Ecclestone and Rupert Murdoch of natural causes, the next was an assassination of Putin, followed by a major UK politician's aircraft going missing on an overseas trip, and finally Trump carking it in mysterious circumstances. TV news was in meltdown, with no idea as to where to go next. -
