Beobeoba

I had a dream about Darcy.

We were at a party at the Grant\'s house twenty years ago.

The houses all around us seemed giant, dark and haunted.

And the sky had a yellowish tint like before a massive storm.

Then a ray of hope shined.

Some iridescent birds darted out of the ground

and swiftly ran across the lawn.

I asked her \"what are those?\"

She answered:

\"Those are the Beobeoba.  They are kind of like

a cross between a squirrel and a blue bird.\"

I took her hand and looked into her eyes and asked,

\"Darcy, will you be my Beobeoba?\"

She hesitated and then smiled and said,

Yes, but there is someone I have to talk to first.\"

Then she took her hand away from mine.
