A Hayu's Dream

parts. I’m sad about that. Luke came over with the police. They bagged my slashed sheets and took my blankets. There was blood on the blankets. They told me Penny cut herself. Luke had extra bed sheets and blankets. I checked my bed in case for surprises. None. I’m glad. I checked my room for anything missing. I found my clothes slashed. Most of them were orange jumpsuits left in the drawer. It reminded me of hay and made me think of something like a cat nest. The police took them bagged. Then I looked around the rest of the house for any damage. There were none. I guess I’ll have to go to the store tomorrow to buy some clothes.

Dear Anne,
I went to work and I brought my journal along because I don’t want to keep it in my room for some intruder to steal it. It has some stuff in it that I don’t want anyone to know about it. I kept it in my apron. I was worried it might fell out of my apron with the store name on it, so I taped it to my hip under my dress. The lockers are small red boxy like. There wasn’t room for my coat or cloak so I kept the coat on a coat hanger in the coat rack. I saw Sue. It was nice to see her. She does look bigger. I remarked to her about her having twins. She told me it’s too early to tell if there’s going to be twins. I asked her if she has decided on a name for the baby yet. She hasn’t. I joking asked her about naming the girl after me. She glared at me and she told me she wanted another name besides Elizabeth. I was very hurt by her comment. It was disappointing. I didn’t let her know that. There are some things I don’t tell my friend Sue. I’m sure there are some things she hasn’t told me yet. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. I don’t know if we still celebrate it. I asked Anna about the day. She told me that they still celebrate holidays such as Valentine’s Day. She added that their national holiday which means no one works on those days. I finished my lunch and went back to work. The customers were a little rude. They were messy instead of being neat, some of them were little kids who kept pulling things off the hangers and dropping them on the ground. One kid even opened a package with his mother’s back turned. I had to tell his mother that and she glared at me and reprimanded me
At least I had something to do. I noticed the customers were polite to Sue. It’s probably because she’s expecting a baby. I was eating chocolate for my break time. I saw Sue working at the credit register. I can’t wait to learn how to work on the credit register. Bruce stopped by. It was nice to see him. I love him. Yeah. We chatted for a minute here’s some of our conversation.
Me: "Hi Bruce"
Bruce: " Hi Liz"
Me: "So what's new?"
Bruce: "They caught Penny Smith"
Me: "Good. People like her are nuts. She slashed my bed sheets and my clothes.”
Bruce: "Oh No."
Me: "After my shift I'm doing some clothes shopping."
Bruce: "Okay"
Anna walked by. She looked a little annoyed so Bruce left. I worked the best I could. I think Anna wanted me to work instead of fooling around talking to people. After my shift ended I went shopping for clothes. I had a hard time getting what I wanted because the ghost interfered again. Kept leading me to dresses like the one I was wearing everyday, which is mostly a dress with white flared sleeves, brown skirt part, some black belt and a black vest over the top part of it. I also got some undergarments too which were brown woolen tights about two pairs of them and a black cloak. I got every thing three bags. I called a taxi but it appears the taxi was waiting for me because Jeff came by work and told me to get in his car. He drove me home instead of flying he drove normal car like. It was nice of him to drive me home. I paid him a credit for the ride. Then I washed and dried my clothes. Then I put them away. I did some cleaning. I looked through the boxes in the basement for stuff to clean with. I found a vacuum cleaner, which I put together. Then I got a call from Bruce. I answered the phone. Bruce invited me to go out to dinner tomorrow. It was nice of him. I agreed to go out tomorrow. Then I told him about cleaning my house. He told me to put off cleaning in case the police need to find more evidence of Penny Smith wrecking the house. I signed off and put the vacuum in the closet. I feel I could use some company. I miss having a cat. I checked online for cats. A ship is coming in tomorrow morning. The ship named Valentina is bringing a litter of kittens. Oh I can’t wait to get a kitten. It’ll be fun. I sent the Valentina a video message about getting a kitten. I’m hoping for a girl kitten which reminds me I better kitten proof the house. I also will have to buy cat stuff too. I walked to the store and brought some cat stuff such as food, bowls, kitty litter, and litter box. I found some toys in the box in the basement. It was strange because those toys are exact copies to the toys Victoria and Demeter play with. I wondered when the ship is coming. I checked online. It’s coming in the early afternoon. I hope I’m up in the morning I set my alarm clock. Then I went to have dinner, I don’t mind eating breakfast food for dinner. Then I watched a video I hope I get a kitten tomorrow. I think I’ll go to bed now. Good night.
Yours,
Elizabeth
February 14, 2101 Valentine’s Day
Dear Anne,
I had a dream that I was running in the forest in a wolf form. I saw another wolf that I recognized as Bruce. We frolicked in the snow and played with each other. Then I woke up in a sweat and was feeling like I had a run. I put on my medieval clothes. Whose idea was for the town’s folks to wear clothes like that anyway? The Valentina came in. I saw it on the news. I was excited about getting a kitten.
My doorbell rang and I answered and was surprised to see Bruce. He had a box with him. I let him in. He kissed me on the lips.
“Happy Valentine’s Day” he signed after putting the box on the floor.
I opened the box and was surprised to see two kittens. They were not small sized but three months old same age as Victoria and Demeter would be today. Bruce told me their both girls. Both were implanted with a device to keep them from getting in heat. I’m happy about that. One kitten was yellow and black. The other kitten was gray and black. I named the yellow kitten Demeter and the gray kitten Victoria. They reminded me of Vicky and Demi on Earth. They also seemly acted like Vicky and Demi too. Is this a coincidence or not? Bruce was happy for me and reminded me to come over for dinner. I spent the rest of the day teaching Demeter and Victoria where their food bowls are and where to go to the bathroom and stuff. I felt like my teaching was in vain because they acted like they knew where everything was like they had been in the house before. They were very nice cats. I think I’ll keep them out of the basement. I don’t want them to get hurt. I think once their older I’ll let them in the basement. I put their litter boxes in the closet in the hall. I rigged the door to stay open for them to go. I put their food bowls next to the refrigerator. Then I fed them. They were very excited to be fed. They remind me of my cats back home on earth in the past. It’s nice to have cats in the house.
I think Bruce likes me the way I am. I think it explains why he likes me. I went over to Bruce’s house. He answered the doorbell. It was nice to see him. Dinner was by candlelight. We stayed until late night chatting about stuff parts of the conversation here:
Me: "What do want to talk about?"
Bruce: "Valentine's Day on Earth. What was it like?"
Me: "It wasn't a holiday that closed schools and people had a day off. When I was little I would give kids in the classes Valentine’s Day cards. We exchanged cards until Second school called Middle school."
Bruce: "That was nice of you to give cards. We didn't do that in grade school. Only went out to eat for dinner. "
Then Bruce and I had a kiss that was really long and Bruce slipped me the tongue. We were doing it until Luke and Lad came home. The house seemed to have a computer that went off flashing the lights every time our kiss lasted longer than normal. Then Bruce walked me over to my house. He kissed me on the lips. Then I watched him leave. I entered the house feeling high on love. Victoria was being friendly tonight. She rubbed herself agai
nst my legs. I think it was feeding time.
I think it was her way of saying, “Feed Me”.
I fed the cats then I went to the videophone. I left Sue a message about my romantic dinner with Bruce. I’m working tomorrow. I have to get up early. I set my clock to go off at that time.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
Eek I took a break from writing in my journal yesterday because I was upset. Really upset. I got up at 5am in the morning by my twentieth century watch. I had a nightmare. I dreamed Penny got in my house and was posed to strike me with a knife but my parents stopped her and received some cuts on their arms. They also attacked Penny in a wolf form. It was oddly real because I could have sworn I saw some thing like blood on the floor which mysteriously disappeared as if wiped away. I woke up at 5am. I turned the lights on. Then I searched the entire house. Victoria and Demeter were in the kitchen hanging around the food bowls. They're always hungry. I was satisfied that there was no one in the house besides me. I had a creepy feeling that someone was in the house and used my stuff. I noticed objects moved out of their usual places and my clothes were folded in the laundry room. It was very weird. Anyway I went back to bed. The
