Now the scenery changes to a small dark room. I know because I feel as if the darkness is cramming me into the ground. My audience has disappeared; the serpent too. Yet I can sense another presence beside me. And then it whispers to confirm my suspicions.
"Hello."
In the pitch darkness of the room, my head turns to follow its voice.
"Yes."
"What do you want out of life?" the voice continues to whisper.
"I don't know. Who wastes time worrying about that?"
"Dreamers do. They do it all the time."
"Good for them," I say after a long pause. "Maybe their dreams don't cost much."
"Stop worrying about money. Money's like the wind. It blows where it wants."
"That's the kind of foolish talk I hear every day. Good thing I don't have time to waste."
"Time? See, that's why you have no money. You're stuck in time."
"A dark room and a strange voice. I'd feel much better if I know who I'm talking to."
"You already know. Listen harder and it'll come to you."
It has to be one of the witches from my dream. I dredge my memory to pinpoint which one.
"Is it Raea?"
