he dreamed of naughty schoolgirls
sounds nice huh
a game they played
a game of catch he had to catch them they ran
they ran from the front
lawn up broad painted wood stairs and disappeared into a French Colonial house through enormous wideopen doubled entry doors
when he reached the expansive foyer
they had disappeared but in the warm moist
air he could yet smell their soft scents their talcum
a schoolgirl peeped upstairs
he ascended following her
voice
he didnt understand her wordswhat
she said she goaded him
he was nervous and excited and he breathed high in his chesthis breaths keeping his pounding heart company
he followed her voice up the stairs
he walked on the balcony
overlooking the great room doors off it lead
to bedrooms
her voice emitted from the fourththe
last bedroom at the end of the balcony
he stood in its doorway
looking
right he saw gay motes dance in the setting sunlight which entered through a
bank of windowpanes the panes throwing long
exaggerated crosses on the white linen of a huge bed to the left of the windows was a doorway a walk-in
closet and in the doorway receded inside
it by barely a step the failing sunlight diagonally sliced illuminated half of the schoolgirls
body
he saw her shiny black patent leather shoes a single strap atop each foottoes
turned in white cotton anklet socks tawny calves knees thighs the plaid fabric
of her skirtshe lurched against the doorjambfrightening him then she rolled pinioned off the jamb falling
towards the bedblood lashing its linenblood spent up the wall arcing she fell into the bedroom heavily headlessTHAT woke him THAT popped his eyes wide THAT made him afraid to
blink or shut his eyes THAT
THAT
THAT
was
going to make for a difficult morning difficult reveries a taunting schoolgirl decapitated where was her head
