Firmament
“Second place! How wonderful!”
I must have been dreaming and sleeping heavy enough to drool, as my frigid, saliva soaked hand is what I sensed first, then the shaking of my body - rattling really….I don’t remember getting on the subway though, but I did leave the performance hall right after the competition finished. The rattling gave me a slight headache too. Anthony must have let me go after the judges read out the winners, he knows I can’t socialize with everyone … but I do remember seeing Elizabeth surrounded by joyous conversation and praise for first place. She asked for me, but I couldn’t tell you if we ever talked or if I dreamt that.
