Two nights ago, about 30 minutes after I fell asleep, I woke up to see bf moving around the room. I couldn’t tell what, but there was something else hovering in the air just past the bed.
Oh! You got a helicopter!
I said. (Cause yeah. Everybody breaks out their new remote helicopter to show off at twenty past midnight.)
He gave a bemused laugh and told me no, he had not gotten a helicopter.
Just then, I could see clearly. He was there sitting next to me as usual. A lamp was lit. I’m wasn’t dark. Nothing was flying around the room.
I said,
Oh, it was a hallucination.
He said oh, and took it in stride. This is not the first time I have talked about things that weren’t there.
