Strange Dreams

Slam. Kristen walked from room to room opening every large and small thing that hinged a door before her sister caught her slender shoulders.

“What is going on Kris? Did you forget your medication again?”

Kristen let her shoulders slump, her voice was full of frightened trepidation.

“Something’s been visiting me at night again. I don’t know what it is, but I keep having these vivid dreams.”

Mandy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “When is the last time you visited your shrink?”

Pulling away at the mention of the therapist, Kristen shouted at her sister who had come to the house at her urging. “Look, I’m not crazy!”

“No one said you were, but your stress has been through the roof with this divorce.” Mandy took the opportunity to reach for the wallet in her oversize purse.”Here, take this.” She pulled out a business card and handed it to her little sister.

“You have to be kidding! I’m not insane! How do you explain this!?!?” Kristen pulled up the hair at her neck and leaned forward.
