The Diary
For three nights now, the dream just will not stop. There’s a box, plain, cardboard, the size of a $15 flat rate shipment. Something makes her flinch, worried, afraid of being caught, but she opens it anyway. Inside are haphazard stacks of dollar bills, twenties, fifties, hundred-dollar bills, some in red rubber bands, some in green, some in blue, no system, no order. When she reaches for a stack, to touch it and make it real, to feel its weight, her hand falls to the box’s bottom. As if a mirage, the money is gone and her head is banging and she’s so, so thirsty.
