I'm not superstitious, I'm not, I'm not.

  I was sound asleep or as sound asleep as I get anymore. As is usual now, I was dreaming,one of those dreams where I'm trying to solve some problem, or find some explanation, or put strewn pieces of something back together. I was awakened  from the dream by a thud, and then the sound of someone crying out. It was such a familiar occurrence, up until almost exactly one year ago.
  I got up and looked in each empty room. Nothing was out of order. Maybe was lying on the stand in the living room, looking out at the night scene lighted by the outside porch lamps.  The clock said 1:52.
