:57:00
And then I feel so wretched and tired
during the day.
:57:06
- And do you dream?
- You know I do.
:57:09
Horrid dreams,
:57:12
and so strange and lifelike.
:57:17
Tell me.
:57:20
I haven't told anyone. Not everything.
:57:24
I can't.
:57:28
Tell me!
:57:34
A cat comes
:57:37
and sits at the foot of my bed, staring.
:57:42
Then it reaches out towards me.
:57:45
And I try to scream.
:57:48
But my throat is strangled.
:57:53
And it lies across me,
:57:57
warm and heavy,
:58:02
and I feel its fur in my mouth.
:58:07
And I retch with fear!
:58:12
And then...
:58:14
And then?
:58:18
It turns into you.
:58:23
Me!
:58:25
And then you embrace me
and kiss me.
:58:28
And suddenly everything's all right
and I'm so happy.
:58:34
But even as you're holding me close,
I feel a pain,
:58:39
sharp as needles, dragging at me.
:58:43
I feel the life running out of me,
:58:47
as though my blood were being drawn.
:58:51
And...
:58:54
I wake, and scream.
