(Dreams, continued)

I followed the woman who had pulled me away from the confusing card game into a darkened parking lot.  She opened her trunk and handed me a box with a caution that it was not to be opened quite yet.

I took it home and arranged it on a shelf.  I tried to ignore its presence but I was afraid it was some sort of test and I didn’t want to fail.  Finally, overcome with dread, I pried the lid off the box.  Inside was a tiny kitten, barely breathing.
