MINDFIELDS

As I lay sleeping in my bed, I write this to you:  The woman was in her backyard, the water hose is frozen, she picked it up to see what she could do about it. The nozzle contained a ball of ice. She lit a match, to attempt to melt it. The end of the hose caught on fire, surprised, she laid it on a piece of carpet on the ground in the backyard. The carpet began to smoke furiously, as she watched and wondered how is this possible.

A voice called out to her "Bette, I have a date for you". Bette had been alone for a long time now, the voice calling her sounded familiar; almost like it was her sister who had been dead for many years. "He is coming to see you right now", the voice then said. A mysterious figure suddenly appeared and walks straight to her, the face is not visible and it's wearing a dark hooded rob.  All the while, the carpet continues to burn.  She wonders what all this means as the figure continues to approach her.  He is on top of her quickly, only a foot away, even at that close distance she cannot make out a face.  Something strange is happening to her.  The carpet continues to burn. There is darkness all around her now. NO! NO! NO! she screams !! She kicks at the robbed figure, and screams again and again and again. Then she finally knows:  it is DEATH !!
