A bizarre dream I had last night about a young woman who deliberately, (or so it felt) encapsulated me with an almost magnetic gaze before hurling herself over a walkway railing to a polished concrete floor below. She landed with all of her weight on one foot. The leg was mangled, yet she smiled. As the crowd gathered, I ran for help. When I returned she again kept her eyes glued only to me and maintained her smile. The smile held no signs of pain, more like an eery achievement of sorts. Finally as, the EMTs has her loaded on a gurney I asked her softly, "Why?" No answer, only the eye contact and that smile.
Then I woke up. This dream has sat heavy on me all day.
