I am working in a Dentist's office in downtown Momence. Monica Miller enters for her appointment. As she sits in the dentist's chair, I am struck by her beauty.
"She would make an awesome painting," I think.
I reach for a nearby placemat, for the Dentist's office was also a restaurant. I sketch the most beautiful drawing ever. When I finish I notice the sketch does not look like Monica. The sketched Monica has a black mark below her lower lip, flaming red hair, abundant freckles, and a larger nose.
"Hmmm, what does this mean," I think.
Then the dental assistant, a brunette woman, tells me Monica would date me. Only she's never talked to me.
...I turn to look at the dental assistant when I notice I am not in the dental office anymore...
I am walking down the gravel road, near my parent's house, that runs past the Haut's. It is a clear sunny day. As I walk the road I think about Suzanne and Monica. I can not decide who I like better. Suzanne is beautiful on the inside, blah on the outside. Monica is beautifull on the outside, but blah on the inside. Two blimps fly across a nearby field. I watch them fly across the sky. The blimps are shaped like round discs on their sides.
"Just like nautilis shells," I think.
Winds begin to blow. One of the blimps crashes to the ground. The other blimp's pilot jumps from the blimp. He changes his mind last minute, but the winds take hold of the blimp. As he falls, I can see him scramble to grab the rope attached to the blimp.
