Damn telephone


I dreamed I got a phone call from Justine, or Tina, from Bible Study. Even though we are friends on Facebook, I haven't spoken to or even messaged with her in over 30 years. So, I was very surprised when she called and sounded as cheery as ever.

"I'm only a few months away," she told me excitedly.

"That's great!" I said, in an encouraging voice, "Months away from what?"

"From graduating," she continued.

"How cool," I said. "What are you taking?"

"Oh, no!" She said in a tone that told me she wasn't going to give me that information.

The phone went dead, and I stared at it in disbelief. Had I ticked her off with my question? I had the sense that I she wasn't telling me because I was supposed to already know. It was just a thought, I had no way of verifying it because she was gone.

More had occurred prior to that phone call, an entire dream perhaps. I don't know because it is now lost in the waking world of pain and having to pee.
