Day 29 of my 2023 drabble-a-day challenge! Here is today’s drabble…
Cabbages
"I need you there, with the cabbages. Promise?"
"I will. Trust me."
It's not that difficult. It's not far across town. Cabbages are everywhere, you can buy them in Tesco for 80p.
So, getting them over to her...
Wait. What? Why am I buying cabbages?
I look around. Dark, with the occasional red LED. Typical budget hotel room.
Thank goodness. Just a dream. What on earth was that about?
It's only later in the day that - in broad daylight, sitting in Costa - I remember about the cabbages.
She needed them. It was important. And I promised.
Where is she now?
I am someone who wakes up quite slowly. My dreams often give way only reluctantly to “rational” “daylight” thinking.
It does worry me that, sometimes, I have stood up people in the Dreamworld.
