'I was dreaming that I followed a lonely woodland path,' thought Emily. 'Dark and deep, were those woods, the tangled branches of its ancient trees reaching out at me, sometimes snagging at a bit of lace on my garment, a strand of feather on my hat.'
'The sounds of the forest, the chitterings and slitherings, the restless settling of trees, filled my head, and I was made quite dizzy by them. The heavy earthen scent of the place filled my nostrils, my lungs, until it seemed as though rather than I, breathing the air of that place, it was that place, breathing me.'
'The narrow path I followed was bordered closely by mossy stones and rings of mushrooms. It led me eventually to a clearing, upon which shone a friendly sun, and wherein stood a solitary wooden chair, well made, though nothing very elegant. Still, in the way of dreams, I thought to rest my tired feet, and so sat myself down upon it, only to awaken suddenly...'
'There is Charles. He stands behind the bearded photographer who points his contraption in my direction. I think that Charles must be my husband, because of the way he looks at me. Such a pleasant face he has.'
'It disturbs me that I possess no clear recollection of how I came to be here. Surely my adventure in the woods was a dream...or is this the dream?
I could ask the photographer, I suppose. He wears the patient expression of a wise man. But better to keep quiet for now, I think. Better not to upset Charles...'
Now you tell one :)
