2020.03.13: March Madness

Last night in a dream I was running through a field dodging blobs of green pulses and firing back at the shooters. I quit while I was ahead… Then I was leaving school with my best friend. {Yes, high school.} I drove out the entrance away from where everyone else was queued to leave the other way. I turned left away from the school but my car was travelling right. {This isn’t right.} So I turned my body to face the rear window just in time to see a kid running at my car. I see her laughing face. STOP! No one dies in MY dreams…

I lie awake replaying yesterday’s news. The local NBA game was cancelled. The season is suspended indefinitely. The NHL season is suspended.The men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments are cancelled. All spring sports championships are cancelled. Schools are extending spring breaks for at least one more week. The local universities are resuming online. My wife’s employer sent her to work from home. The computer is coming tomorrow. STOP! I’m going back to sleep. No one dies in my dreams.
