Red Hurts

(Dream) The model train I'm building reaches across most of the Midwest now on its way west, toward California. I gaze out across the plains and add more track. Finally, I'm ready for a test run with my model train, and loading a huge paper sack filled with towels on top, launch my locomotive somewhere near Missouri. It takes off west, and I hurry after it. Somewhere near Colorado I find it stuck way up above on a hill, and I pass one of my friends, David, on my way up to retrieve it. Well, here it is and it's fine. I give it a slight shove, and it takes off down the hill I just climbed, jumping off the end of the tracks and landing harmlessly across a doorway. I find Patty down there and she comes into my room. I'm glad she finally came over, and we laugh and carry on until it's time for her to leave. She goes out ahead of me while the phone is ringing, so I have to come back to answer it, except for some reason, I can't. Then I hear her in the living room saying, "He's not available, so shut the fuck up." When I come into the living room, she's lying on her back on my black leather sofa, with her feet up over the armrest, and I immediately come over and kiss her. Her kiss is so unbelievably real and my arousal so intense, I wake up. (Fin)
