For the last thirty-some hours of my life I have
been mired in a fever. I slept for
nearly ten hours last night, which is nearly twice my norm. Somewhere in the night, I had a dream that
each time I woke I was able to alter one thing in the world just by touching
together any two of a cluster of bare-ended wires near my pillow.
One time, I woke, touched two wires together and
everything around me turned the color blue.
Another time, I woke, connected two wires, and the sounds of automobile
traffic all around me ceased. The
cluster was comprised of hundreds of wires and hundreds of possibilities.
When I woke this morning, instead of finding a
cluster of wires near my bed, I found one of my cats gacking-up a hairball.
And I still feel like hell.
