Chapter 1

"I had the weirdest dream last night" Sophie blurted out during dinner one night.

 

"Sophie dear, its not polite to interrupt, now apologize to Mr. Russo" Mrs. Callahan scolded.  "Everyone gets a turn to talk" she added while scraping together the last of the mashed potatoes from the corner of the t.v dinner tray.

 

"B-b-b-ut, i just remembered and i don't want to forget."

 

"I know Soph, i know. Listen hunny, why dont you just leave your plate and head on up to bed.  I'll be in to check on you after i see Mr. Russo out the door.

 

"I'm not tired!.  And what if I forget, then you'll be sorry" she pieced together through a long, drawn out yawn.

 

"You wont, just tell me in the morning" Mrs. Callahan said as she slid the table scraps into the trash can.

 

"It was so real this time, like i was actually there or something" she said as she slid the door to her bedroom closed behind her. Her eyes seemed to glow more and more with every word, darting back and forth across the length of the trailer.  As if they were just waiting for someone to scream "just tell us already, what are you waiting for.  But no one ever never did.  She just climbed into bed, pulled the sheets up to the top of her breasts and closed her eyes.

 

She forgot the dream, Sophie always forgot the dream.
