Senator’s Dream (3)

He remembered being given instructions – instructions that he could not quite hear.

The cellular was the old one – the one with the yellow cartoon face of Homer Simpson. A Christmas present from his granddaughter a couple of years before.

With Homer staring at him and the Senator interpreting it thus i.e. as some abject comment along the lines forget it, Frank, put it down to the beer, he got out of his car and walked towards the wheely bin.

The Senator knew if he opened up the wheely bin, he would find something left by the pilot – something which was extremely important to him – and possibly the world.

At that point, or certainly in the sequence he remembered, he woke up.

It was four in the morning; the room was still heavy with darkness.
