10:28 AM: I’ve packed my day so full that I was immediately angry when I opened my eyes. Just taking a minute or two to write this will potentially set me back several minutes tonight. By taking hours at Belmont, I have also left myself with about zero minutes to work on the house.
On a positive note, I had dream that left me with a potential story, should I ever decide to write one. It would be about a set of twin girls, one who can only see through the other’s eyes. It is forever disorienting to her if she wakes up second, as dream images and waking images from her seeing sister begin to merge. In my dream, the father first discovered this while looking out at the ocean and asking the daughter about the scenic view. She laughed and responded that she couldn’t see the ocean right now, but liked it when she could. He noticed her twin was turned around, playing in the sand. This led to him holding up varying numbers of fingers between the sisters until he confirms the situation.
Something horrible will happen …. A rape that the blind sister must live through over and over again, maybe the last image from her sister is all she will ever see and her sister is brutally murdered, perhaps the seeing sister is blinded or blinds herself for some reason. Perhaps the blind sister walks out into traffic because the seeing sister is distracted for a minute and not tending to her twin. A lot of possibilities to leave one feeling ill and distraught at the conclusion.
