Dreams I’ve had; unedited but (for better or worse) not always fully remembered.
We’re out on the town. Not bar-hopping per se but we were on the lookout for a pub or a lounge following some dinner out. We come across a bar (which appears to have replaced RiRa) on Church Street. We go up to the door but the hostess stops us. There is apparently a wait […]
I’m inside of an infomercial come to life. It’s all about this machine: The Water Master. The Water Master takes over everything water-related in your home. Dish washing? The Water Master has it under control. Laundry? The Water Master again. Boiling water for soup? The Water Master. Cool drink of? You guessed it. Sure it […]
A. and I have come back to our Barre house. Having remembered that we left behind a couple of items that were dear to our hearts, we disguise ourselves as bushes and wait until the new owner leaves for work one morning. We let ourselves in (she apparently hasn’t figured out yet how to lock […]
A. & I emerge from a car (not our car?) at the home of friends, a couple about our age. The She of the couple looks exactly as I know her but He has grown. He is now a little taller and much fatter. And not only that, his whole demeanor has changed; he’s awkward […]
There’s a large body of folks from the community gathered in a central location. It’s like a pub where everyone gathers to watch the news and other entertainment. (Imagine an alternate history where people understood sharing and valued community gathering; the resulting present is this place where community’s are designed to be easily navigable by […]
Stitching together a tank top from scraps like a jigsaw puzzle. Underground, nuclear ICBMs lined up like the different available sizes of ice cream cones. Sneak through houses into basements to find secret passageways (but you need to build them, cut them out of the wall first). Invade homes to rip up carpets and burn […]
We call this big brick building home. Situated near the train tracks (the ones near where I grew up), the building is an old warehouse converted to a loft space where we execute our art projects and make our communal home. Living here seems to give us all the right kind of energy; it’s like […]
My boss and I are making a presentation to a high school principal. We’re here to recruit interns for some tedious project work. We have two hours worth of work per day for each intern; the principal will only allow them to go on internships that are three or more hours. We need to regroup […]
Yii runs the only airline out of Little Square Falls. It’s a little two-prop Cessna that he charters out and lands right there on the main strip of this little back-water burg. More of a frontier town than anything else, Little Square Falls has dirt roads between its buildings (that do double duty as landing […]
A little pick-up game of two-on-two basketball. It’s me and a woman co-worker versus two of the adult contestants from the “What Do Kids Know?” game from Magnolia. (There are some remarks and gestures that make me think that our opponents think that she and I are together but there’s nothing lusty or unchaste about […]
