Dream CXXIII

I drove into work, knowing that on the previous day, a co-worker and I had played a prank on a short, blonde female co-worker.  I saw that the prank had come off, and I started to feel bad about it.  I went into her office and confessed to her the main details.  She smiled at me, shook her head, and gave me both middle fingers.  I was puzzled, until I realized that the other co-worker, a brunette female, had taken the prank to a far greater extent than I thought, getting the blonde fired.  I was really upset and tried to apologize, but the blonde would have none of it, sighing and telling me to come back later to help her gather her things.

I helped her to gather her possessions, and we drove to her apartment to arrange them.  It was a nice apartment, with a great view over the city park.  She had forgiven me by this time, and I helped her put things on shelves.  We had dinner later.

Before the next morning, I came to her room, and we made love.

The next morning, we drove to her place of work...but the building had already been destroyed.  There was nothing left but an unobstructed view to the ocean.  I looked into the burning pit of office furnature, and saw several of my neckties in the fire.  I reached for them, but the blonde convinced me they were beyond salvage.

We went back to her apartment, full of sorrow, and made love again.  When I awoke, she was gone, and I never saw her again.   Nor did I see the other co-worker ever again.  But I knew what temptation I should have avoided, and who I should have trusted.
