A Hayu's Dream

what Sue told me. He confirmed this.
I told him "I'll get Sue."
I met her coming down the stairs. I told her it was Kurt. She went to see him. I gave them their privacy. I could hear them yelling with my hearing aids on. The words were too garbled for me to understand. Minutes later I heard the door slam. I saw Sue. She was in a bad mood. I watch her go upstairs. She didn't speak to me. Nothing. I ate some lunch. I got dressed in my sweat coveralls. Then I watched TV. I didn't see Sue until dinner time. She ate her dinner in silence. Most of the foods I have are good for her to eat for the baby. I asked her what she and Kurt were arguing about. She told me Kurt wanted her to forgive him for cheating on her. She added that she talked to Serena who acted like she was glad to be carrying Kurt's baby. I asked her if Sean knows about this. She told me he knows. The phone rang. It was Sean. Sue and I had a talk with Sean. He told us he's divorcing Serena. Sue told us she's divorcing Kurt. We ended the phone call. Sue went to her room. Sue stayed in her room. She didn't come out only to shower. I checked for lights under her doorway. There wasn't a light one. I guess she's in bed now. I should be going to bed but I'm not too tired. I feel upset about what happened to Sue. I can't believe Kurt would cheat on her. I suspected he was cheating on her for awhile. I don't know what will happen now. I guess Kurt will have to marry Serena. He may also pay child support payments to Sue. I don't know if they still have welfare checks in the future. I think I'll go to bed now. Good night.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
On the twelfth I woke up early for I had a nightmare. I dreamed Kurt was about to kill Sue. He was planning to choke her to death and punch her abdomen causing her a miscarriage. I also had a dream that as Kurt was about to grab Sue, I knocked him down in my wolf form and I bit Kurt in the arm and in his throat and drew blood. I meant she lived because I protected her and the baby from Kurt. I got up to check on Sue. She was in her room asleep. She seemed fine. I checked the stairs. There were oddly dark stains that smelled weird. There were laser beams like flashlights flashing. I hate it when I have nightmares. I had an awful taste in my mouth that was weird. I wound up drinking some water and dumping the contents in the trashcan. They eerie looked like blood to me. I slept until noon. I felt a little tired. I left my door open. I felt cat paws on me. I wasn't sure who. I checked on Sue. Her bed was not made. She wasn't in her room. I went downstairs and found a video note from Sue. She's working today for eight hours. I don't have any work today. I got my check in the mail from Georgia. I got paid. It was nice to be paid. I ate some breakfast. I walked over to Bruce's house. I rang the doorbell. Lad answered. He told me in sign language that Bruce and his father have gone back to home. They'll be staying there for a few days. Then I walked home. It was a beautiful day not a cloud in the sky. The green moon PX5 shined green. I walked to the auditorium where I met Georgia who tried to talk to me in sign language. I wound up teaching her and a few other people from driving class who later showed up some signs. I spent two hours doing that. Then I walked home. I think I could teach a class at the auditorium. It'll be a better job than working in boring store cleaning after people. At home I saw Sue. I told her about Georgia and other people teaching those signs. I added I hope to teach a class at the community center instead of working in the store. Sue told me she wanted to do something else instead of being on her feet all day. She's been tempted to quit. We had dinner then we watched TV together while eating popcorn. The cats sniffed her. Victoria sat in her lap. Demeter sat in my lap. After the TV show Sue went to her room. I went to take an early shower. It was nice to have company in here. I'm leaving my door open so the cats can come in and do their thing. I didn't tell Sue about my nightmare. I think I'll keep it to myself. I might want to tell her later some day. I think I'll go to bed. I had a vision of the white wolf who told me to be careful around Sue. I wonder why.
This morning the thirteenth I woke up feeling refreshed. I even remembered to take my pills. Good thing. I didn't have a nightmare. I'm glad about that. It's a good thing. I feel happy today. I ate some breakfast. I didn't see Sue. Her door was open. I saw Sue asleep on her bed. I think she must be tired. By the way Sue ate lunch with me. She was still upset with Kurt. The doorbell rang. We went to answer it. Lad was there. He told us he heard about Kurt and Serena. He had papers with him for Sue to sign. She signed the divorce papers. Then I watched him walk over to Sean's house next door. I didn’t do much for the rest of the night. I have to go take my shower and go to bed early. I hope Sue is okay with the divorce. I can’t believe Kurt would cheat on her. I felt an urge to go outside and run but a vision by the white wolf told me not to. I looked outside and saw blood on the ground. My parents, I guess the ghost kept me from going outside because I had an image of Kurt walking around the house outside with a gun while having bandages on his arm and neck. He appeared to be ranting and raving about something.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I woke up. I don’t know why but the hallway light was flashing. I also felt someone shaking me awake. I had an image of my mother shaking me with a worried expression on her face.
"Go help Sue" she was saying.
I walked in the hallway. I saw Sue lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. I ran to her. She wasn’t responding to me. I called the hospital on the phone. They came two minutes later. The ambulance took Sue to the hospital. I called Anna on the phone and reached her. I told her Sue wouldn't be in work today because she’s in the hospital. I hope Sue is fine. The machine fed the kittens. The kittens were both under the chair. I guess the noise and the flashing lights scared them. At work Anna told me Sue nearly had a miscarriage. They managed to save the baby. She’s okay. The doctor thinks Sue slipped and fell down the stairs. I have a strange feeling it was something else but I’m not sure what. It’s a good thing I woke up. I worked the best I could. Anna asked me to do the women’s clothes. Since Sue was in the hospital they were short staffed. I worked cleaning up the areas. Several customers talked to me in sign language. I told them I hope to teach a sign language class soon. I don’t know when. I had an apple with apple juice to drink. Anna told me Sue is staying overnight in the hospital for depression. The doctors think Sue tried to commit suicide. I’m very upset about that. She’s my best friend. It saddens me when she tries to kill herself. I wonder why?
I remember back in the twentieth century I was in the hospital for depression. I know what Sue is going through. In December I admitted to the school counselor that I was suicidal. I don't remember why I was suicidal. The school counselor drove me to the hospital where I stayed for a few days. I was given some pills for depression. I hope Sue is okay. I plan to support her best I can. I worked the best I could. It was a challenge working in the women’s department. I’m children’s department expert but women’s clothes were a mystery for me. I had a hard time helping customers find particular clothes. I was glad work ended. I walked home. It was snowing a little bit. I feel sorry for Sue. I’m upset about what happened to her. I hope the hospital can help her. I plan to visit her at the hospital soon. I fed the kittens. Then I called the hospital. I asked them about visitor hours. They told me visitor hours are 4pm to 6pm and 7pm to 8pm. I plan to visit her soon. I asked about Sue. They told me she’s doing fine. I checked online to where the hospital is. It's next to the medical bay. It’s also within walking distance. The kittens wanted to play with my pen, so it explains my handwriting.
Around an appointed visiting hour’s time, I walked to the hospital. It took me twenty minutes to get there. I walked thru the arch and then was led to a horse by a ghost and pushed onto the horse. Then the horse led me to a door, which I got off and I went in. Inside was a lobby like the one Sue and I visited before meeting Jeff. I saw a lady dressed in white with a hat on her head sitting at a desk looking at me and I asked her about Sue. The lady was nice. She tried to sign to
me. She told me Sue is in room number 405. I took the elevator to Sue’s floor but the elevator went down instead of going up. It was down to the fourth floor. The hospital is similar to the one I stayed in one hundred years ago. I found room 405 easily. Sue was lying in her bed staring at the wall. I waved a hand in front of her face and didn’t get a response. A nurse came in the room. She waved to get my attention. She told me in finger spelling that Sue has been staring at the wall the whole time she’s been here. I touched Sue on the arm and shook her. She responded. Sue stared at me.
I spoke “Sue, Hello it’s your best friend Elizabeth.”
She burst in tears. She cried signing that she was upset about Kurt. She was upset that Kurt cheated on her. Sue added she felt like he used her. I stayed for an hour. I held Sue in a hug. Then I left her at 8pm. She went to sleep. I walked home in the dark and it was pitch black that I couldn’t see. I felt a rope in my right hand which I gripped and then the rope pulled me home to the house. I also had that weird feeling of being led to the house by my parents again. At home the cats were happy
