I dreamed an alphabet, a word...

Last night I had a dream. In the dream, I wrote a picture book, an ABC, but instead of...


A is for apple. B is for ball... C is for chair...


Each letter was an unusual word. One letter to a page with incredible pictures... I remember only the first five, because the fifth word WOKE ME!


A is for abscond... B is for badminton... C is for corral ... D is for dastardly... E is for eluarthy...


!!!


Eluarthy? Eluarthy? In the dream, I just KNEW that eluarthy is the word used to describe the process by which a large bird swoops around stealing things from jars with its talons...


I woke up and realized I'd made up the word. Went back to sleep and dreamed the last page of the book, a block of prose called CONTEXT, which was a story using all 26 words...


"During the badminton championships at Somerset, a dastardly fellow name Jeremy J absconded with all the miniatures poodles and papillons while the ladies weren't lookng. He coralled them into the loo. Meanwhile, above, in a feat of treacherous eluarthy, an eagle snatched the necklaces of those same unfortunates damsels..."


Or something like that. So then I couldn't sleep and got up to make tea and cinnamon toast.
