I dreamed of
Don and myself (presumably Randy, since I stood shorter than either)
confronting Headmaster Weatherbent, ambushing him in his own room and forcing
him to drink one of George's potions.
Don told him he had some remembering to do.
I wrote the
rest. I asked myself, "What is Wallace
Weatherbent's secret, anyway?" Because
everything indicated that he had one, and somehow the school, and through its
graduates, the whole nation, had warped around it. And he reacted strangely to things like a
rose garden, or clouds that resemble scarves, or anything to do with
women. So I just started typing and this
story happened. It felt scary, how it
just tore through me onto the screen, and what resulted. I almost erased it all.
