Day: April 9, 2026

In a dream in a room filled with people,
I saw two men briefly get in a fight.
But the scene shifted so fast that I
didn’t get to see the outcome.
The scene shifted again, and one
of the men walked back into the room,
as though there had never been a fight,
and I could see he was a nice guy, as
was the other guy who fought him.
One guy was up for shaking hands
and forgetting about the tussel,
but the other was still angry.
So I stepped in and convinced him
to forget about the fight and took
his hand into the other guy’s hand,
and they both shook hands and
let the grievances go.
What that was about or meant
I do not know.

Day is night.
Night is day,
blending into
each other
almost as
though one.
Time speeds up.
you slow down.
Then you see
how it all went
by so fast, and
then you’re in
the ground
with day and
night still
blending into
each other
as though one.

Some people claim to have
had phone calls from the dead,

as if the dead can in rare cases
make phone calls from the afterlife,

as if the dead could use technology
to make contact with the living.

On September 20, 1988, the author,
David Koontz, supposedly received

a phone call from a woman he
thought was his mother.

She said, “Please be careful” 3 times.

2 days later, Koontz’s father, who had
dementia, tried to stab him to death.

Maybe there’s something to phone
calls from the dead.
