I just had a dream. I was trying desperately to go be with this extremely cool girl, and on my way to our date, I catch sight of her sister's face. We're talking and together, we figure out she's been having an auditory hallucination. She's so freaked out, and all I want to do is go on this date, but I invite her. I try to save her from being alone. I put her on my shoulders and we all three walk together. We end up by a lakeshore on a flooded road. The amount of amphibian and reptile life in the water is astonishing. Utterly unbelievable. Tadpoles take up all the available space between the eels and lizards and aquatic snakes and frogs. I've gotten my feet wet and we're all laughing or heads off when the girl on my shoulders sort of kicks and gasps. The whole mass of animals has turned as one and all their dark green bodies are moving towards me on the water. The lizard at the front is making a disgusting hissing, smeking noise. They want to taste me. I'm as terrified as the girl was of her hallucinating. I wake up.
The girl I was going on a date with was not Delight.
She was secular but had joined I Cantori. Sure liked dry, intelligent jokes. She was seemingly always in a good mood. She did not blame me for things outside my control. We didn't get a chance to kiss because her sister was hallucinating.
