I'm here, someone said. I opened my eyes. It was Teresa!
It's sleeping! Teresa said with a smile.
I looked at my watch. He said that nine hours. H What are you doing here? I asked.
I returned to my lap-top, said Teresa. We have your laptop at work. But that was yesterday! I said.
No, listen, Please, I said. We are rich. I have $ 200,000! Teresa looked at me. I do not know what you're talking about, he said. We have to go to work. I can not stay here, listening to your stories. But this is a story told. Please listen. So I told Mel and Teresa parks giant monster movies and computer and television and car.
Oh yes, he said. But when computers and television and the car? He was right. There were no computers or television in the lounge.
It was a dream, Teresa said with a smile. Just when you thought you sleep. Teresa was right. There were no computers, no cars, no mega-monsters, no chips. Just a dream.
Why? I say. I usually dream of cars and computers and televisions. I do not know, said Teresa. But I do not have time to sit and talk about your dreams. He was always angry against me.
No, wait! I said. I had a dream, why are not happy with me. Every morning, I tell you, find another job that we can have a nice car and a better quality TV. And I want to be happy when I dreamed that we had all these things. Teresa looked for a long time. Then he sat down beside me.
Well, I think I understand now, he said. A car in Nice and a new distance is important. But you are much more important. And if you really want to become a writer, so I'm happy. Sorry. Thanks, I said. And kissed. It was a big kiss. I was very happy. Teresa was not angry against me.
We have to go to work, Teresa said, but I just need my e-mail to see if it is new. Teresa is on the computer. The computer has a ping . There was no news, but I saw the word help screen.
Look, I said.
I closed my eyes. Then I heard a voice. A woman's voice. A woman's voice, America.
Help! said the voice. Help! I heard water. He was smart and was in the water. Help! I do not see anything, said Teresa.
I opened my eyes. There was nothing on the screen.
No, he said, all in your head. Yes, I said, should be . I have an idea, said Teresa. Why do not you write the dream? That's a good idea, I say. Yes, it's really a good idea. Well, I gotta go! Teresa again. He got up and walked towards the door. This again took the laptop. It was nice. I knew that it was a dream.
The idea of using ... for what I said.
He smiled. Close the door.
I have a laptop. Can I have my old pen and sat at the table. The words are the first line of the story.
