We came over the lush green hedges on our floating undulating green magic carpets. I and my spouse were very aged. She was dressed all in white with a fur shawl around her shoulders. We stepped into the black limousine. Her dangling pearl earrings caught some invisible light. They sparkled.
As we drove along in silence the scenes from the window flashing by in a blur of clean color, she turned to me and said, "I may die of a foot attack." I looked at her with concern."A foot attack?"
"Yes, at anytime, now take one of my earrings to remember me by." I took it not questioning her further. by the end of the car ride she sat still her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling of the vehicle, moth slightly open white teeth softly shimmering between scarlet lips.
I quickly got her to the hospital and then this voice seemed to echo all around me as I sat her on the hospital bed. It said: "Six days passed, her condition worsened."
The room seemed to change it felt cooler and the hospital window was open it was sunset.
The voice spoke again, "Ten days have passed, her senses are greatly heightened, she can distinguish birds by the rapid beating patterns of their hearts."
She died as I fell asleep beside her hospital bed/I woke up.
I thought to myself, What a weird dream! And I laughed, She could distinguish birds by the beating of their hearts? Foot attack?! At the time though it seemed like such a serious and sad dream. I am now laughing.
