found drama

Interruptions.  Lounging in my grey robe in a room that is not my brother’s room in a house that is not my parent’s house.  Too much sleep?  Not enough?  The bathroom connects to this room and to the hallway.  It makes me nervous.  A knock at the door and swift entry.  A slight, angular brunette here to clean the room.  She makes me nervous, too.  Oddly familiar; like a lover from a past life reincarnated into an unfamiliar body.  **QUICK CUT**  Slip away; not quite twilight.  I follow the edge of the tree line, follow the patchwork forest that sweeps in and out of a big grassy field.  The field is featureless save for some geometric patches of dirt; it’s like a grade school athletic field.  Someone is after me?  ML sneaks up on me.  Want to race?  I am slower to accelerate than him but I know I can beat him.  Too bad he keeps stopping before I can overtake him.  Start over from here?
