instead it flew on to florida.
upon landing it became clear that my world had flown with me, my house was newly rented when i left home, and upon landing i found it waiting for me in an abandoned lot.
i much preferred its old location but rolled with the punches, my companion on this trip was not wesley for some odd reason and many odd things occurred. one of which was when i fell in love with a young woman, her and her friend, me and mine, us a squad in it together. we were all passengers from the same place. i had found a dog before i left town, so there it was, different but the same...in florida the young woman was a slightly ethnic brunette, but at home she turned into one of the beuchannan twins.
a man found me and ran at me in the dark, like a wild animal, i hissed and puffed my chest and averted the attack
...this was quite the trip, quite the haunting.
stranded in the parallel plain with three others.
everything i had was there but changed.
there was an important magic book...black with gold print.
to get the ghost out, break the spell, and catch the plane home we had to find the portal in my house.
it was in the bathroom and it was explained to me by the technician who found it.
dont ask me how.
we got back and it faded, like the dream we had more and more trouble explaining, just as the dream i have more and more trouble holding right now.
it had been quite a scandal, the tv playing videos of what they thought happened, electrocution, a watery grave.
wesley and will were freaked out, and i couldnt explain in a convincing way that i had simply gone to florida.
and then i saw her, and she saw me.
it took a moment, here she was spoken for, and we barely knew each other, back home with old skin.
when finally she took the wheel and said "i love him....i love you" and i loved her.
and her boyfriend stood and shouted and i stood and blocked his blows, wrestled him to the ground and explained that nothing had happened, we were simply in love, it was not a dream.
and he hugged me and begged for cheap shots and cried through the dirt on his face.
so we left that party, and tried to live in the house that the dream had left.
but it was different.
i kissed her, but it was brand new.
like kissing through someone elses body, like wearing a tuxedo out to check your mail.
a dream in the dream, that layer behind the fence, the peel away.
i had a loved one, i have her, we are lost here, rattled and tossed.
but she has landed, and we will always have florida.
