I was in Washington State, where I lived as a young child, between 6 and 8, and then again with my father when I was 15. I had gone back to visit some people I knew but had not seen since, and wanted to visit places I used to go. I brought my partner with me, kind of an amalgamation of old boyfriend’s and my husband. We were staying in an old stone building where my friends lived. We were getting ready to go out, deciding which spots to visit, when an acquaintance of one of my old friends, a woman, asked me if part of me thought I was gay, and if so, she is interested in me. She was sure I was interested in another woman in the building, neither of which I was, but was flattered. Earlier, I had gone shopping in a town I recognized somehow, though not Washington State, and it had narrow streets and very narrow entrance doors. I squeezed into one and observed a woman telling the shop owner that one of her employees had told her she would sell her an expensive shirt for her daughter at $15, much less than the sticker price. The woman was arguing with the owner, and I tried to make the customer understand that she was asking the owner to sell the top at a loss of 75%, and she agreed and paid her cost. As I was back in the house, I opened a cabinet and got cigarettes, which I quit 25 years ago, some new lingerie my sister had sent me, and a marijuana joint. As I walked out to get to the car, I could see in the vista that a plane that was flying low rammed into another plane from behind. I told my husband to run in, we went down the stone stairs and avoided debris from the planes. We got into the car to go to one of the locations, Point Defiance, all the while reminiscing with my girlfriend how we used to skip school and go there with Perry, a boy she had a crush on. As we were driving in the beauty of Washington, as we came around and through a pass in the mountains, in the clearing on the right was the burning and smoking plume of the planet crash. Then I woke up
