him: I saw a building and a train moving on the tracks…not too fast…There were horses bolting besides the train. I don’t know why the horses were so damn slow …they just couldn’t outrun that stupid train…arghhh ! (grunts in a low voice)
her : And..
him: and…(jarring disturbance over the phone line)…and I saw you…standing there. Staring away at something invisible…non existing maybe…
her : hmmm…
him: hmm…I see the curve of your lip roll up into a smile. It hangs on your face for a long moment and then vanishes….then your face vanishes. You stay there but your face vanishes. It just does…how ? I just don’t know
her : (sighs, pauses and then yawns)
him: you must sleep…
her : (in a very low voice) no…please continue…what else did you see ?
him : There was dark scary lane…it seemed someone was inside it who didn’t seem scary but did not move…and…(hears a soft sigh on the other end of the phone)…you there ?
him : (hears another sigh and then mild snoring) Must be asleep (mumbles…and then sniffles) Good night… (follows with a sigh)
(Hangs up the phone. Turns over on his side. Stays awake )
