"Waking The Dream" PRELUDE

The character's name and prelude is a spin off of Walker Percy's "Movie Goer" ... I glimpsed a few blurbs and fell in love with the character and decided to write my own story.

"WAKING THE DREAM"    ... prelude

 

 

“There is space enough for both of our truths.”  She said matter of factly.

 

“You cannot know this…you don’t know the enormity of my truth”  Binx challenges her - summoning the throaty guttural up into his pressured statement.  The physicality of exclamation for his ‘inutterable’ truths.

 

“You know, Boo, I’ll make more space if you want.  Just say so.”  Emmy says.

 

 Binx turns his back to her and walks away, momentarily…

 

When he returns he hands her the steel wool pad.  Emmy places it neatly in the old wooden tool box alongside the 2K from the month of last.  Then she walks it over to the back door of the dirt cellar. 

 

Binx looks at the neglected black-over-mustard prayer bench.  He lifts his gaze, up from the dirt, as he hears her return.  She has a sea bag bundled in her embrace.   He collapses with an ease onto the primitive bench. 

 

He doesn't even need to see what’s in the sea bag.  He knows, instinctively, it will be enough.
