Dream 2

A middle-aged woman is on the roof of a masonry building, out on the ledge, holding on pensively. Her red matte jersey dress waves in the light breeze like the American flag, gentle and proud.

I can tell she's determined to jump. I want to tell someone. I think i should scream. But a part of me wants to see her step off.

She's about to turn my way and notice i'm watching and not doing a thing. So i scamper down the hallway to the other side of the building so i'll be behind her.

I'm holding my breath... She does it! With one swift, liberating leap.

I feel like a bad person for about 5 seconds. Then i realize: She is i.
