It was the hottest day ever and you could tell that just by looking at people around you. Their shirts had become soaking wet with sweat and they were all trying to hide from the sun.

But what surprised me most was that I didn't have a single drop of sweat on me! Then, suddenly, I had a flashback.

I remembered that I was camping with my brother Jeff and that I had woken up in the middle of the night to find a stabbing pain in my right leg. I pulled of the covers and found to my astonishment that there was an insect-like creature in the process of finishing making a hole in my leg. I tried to hit it away but it was no good! The pain in my leg was so painful that I had become too weak to even move.

As I looked closer I realised that it had finished the hole and was no trying to push itself into the hole. I began to try and pull it out but it was no good it had already vanished!

I instantly woke up Jeff and told him to look at my leg but when I turned to show him there was nothing there; the hole had vanished along with the creature. I went back to sleep and dreamed of finding one hundred dollars!

The next morning when I woke up, I slowly crawled out of the tent still feeling the pain in my leg when I noticed something in the grass. It was a hundred dollar bill just like in my dream.

Over the next few days I found out that the creature of some sort had given me the power to make dreams or even day dreams come true. Then it all made sense! Last night I dreamt that nothing could make me sweat and here I am, not a single drop of sweat on me!

As I made my way to the grocery shop I realised that my leg was beginning to hurt. I sat down on a near by bench and looked at my leg and saw that the hole was starting to reappear.

I watched and waited, waiting for something to happen then just like that the creature flew out of my leg and into the sky. I looked back at my leg and saw that the hole had disappeared.

Then, suddenly, I realised that I was starting to sweat! My power was gone.
