davidnI had a dream about lobsters. Specifically, that my dad had bought two of them and was keeping them in the garden of the house in Scotland overnight. I noticed that the fencing around them was frankly inadequate and that they would easily be able to escape, but he said that they would be fine.
To demonstrate, I took a little tracking device off a set of keys (I think they actually exist - little things you can attach to a keyring that beep when you hit a remote so that you can find them?) and put it in the compartment on the side of the lobster. Soon, we saw on the tracking device that the lobster had escaped and was heading down the driveway to the road.
Night had fallen, and I went out to the front to watch the lobster as it scuttled over the pavement. It turned on the large headlight that was built into its front and began to cross the road, but it had misjudged the gap and a car on the near side of the road had to swerve and crashed into a car coming in the other direction.
I retrieved the lobster and it apologized for the crash, speaking English in a very refined accent. It told me that it was a relation to the other lobster in the garden, so I gave them both a large cake box as a home.
