I awoke in my dream to a stillness that was confusing…. Eerie

nothing was moving except Stuart the “wonder dog” who coaxed me out of bed to pee

it was early but by this time life was happening and people were moving….. not today

a walk from my camper van with Stu in tow revealed  more of nothing……..no birds 🦅 no sounds, no nothing

Starbucks was across the street and the door was unlocked and I went in and helped myself to a latte and a bagel and took a seat by the windows, Stu meanwhile was marking the territory and I scolded him and he stopped and he shared some of the bagel

the coffee was hot….. the fans were spinning and the cash register opened and loaded…….at this point that didn’t interest me

walking outside…… nothing……no sound …..no movement…….dead

even the foliage and the trees seemed frozen

i looked in the window at the bike shop and noticed the clock was stopped at noon…… 🕛 all the clocks I was able to see were the same

the river runs through the city and it was only a block away and me thought a good place to ponder what had happened and my next move

approaching I immediately realized the river wasn’t moving……nothing was moving but us……me and Stu

Honestly since I quit drinking I’m not the most gregarious person you will interact with and I’m okay with that

I’m more of an introvert that I realized

but this was over the top…… gone

now what……shaking my head in disbelief

had the “rapture” happened and I didn’t make it?

——————————————————————————

I woke up for real and was sweating profusely

I cannot say I like nor love everyone but I wouldn’t want to do this alone…….people need people

even this one
