(Well, I waited, and it would seem no one else wants to join in. Cant stand it any longer! I"m gonna go for it! Sorry if its out of turn!)

Thru the door, Dolly took a few steps and stopped, awestruck. Light was everywhere, more intense in here. She couldnt see a ceiling or walls, the room was so vast. Or was it a room? She seemed totally disoriented.
Then, out of the light, a figure stepped. It was a man, but she couldnt see his face. He started walking toward her.
Could it be? No. How arrogant for her to think so! But could it?
The figure walked closer and closer with deliberate steps, his face getting a little bit clearer with each step. Power emanated from this man. But she sensed it was power under control. If it was let loose, she knew, somehow, that it would cause her to come apart at the seams. Electricty buzzed up and down and fizzed in spirals all around her.
She felt ridiculous as she couldnt decide whether to get on her knees, fall flat on her face, stand in awe or jump up and down. "It's just like the song 'I Can Only Imagine'!" She thought to herself as she bobbed up and down, first to one knee, then back up in a jump. What should she do?
Just when his face started to make sense...
BREEPBREEPBREEPBREEPBREEPBREEPBREEP!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Dolly jolted upright in her bed. No! No! No! It cant be a dream! It just cant!
Oh why did they put the alarm clock all the way across the room so that they had to get out of bed to turn it off? So they had to get out of bed and not roll back over, is why.
Sigh. She got up and turned it off.
Bill snorted, smacked, and snored.
"Bill!" Dolly shook him fiercely. "Wake up!"
"5 more minutes." Bill mumbled and rolled over. "I'm dreaming of Jesus."
Dolly snatched her hands back. She might have missed her chance, but she wasnt about to ruin Bill's.
She stumbled to the bathroom and turned on the water in the sink.
"That must have been some dream." She told her reflection. Her curlers were all over the place. "I must have tossed and turned all night!"
Dolly started to reach for the water, then sharply pulled back. What was that? Something stuck between her fingers.
She dashed to the room they used as a home office and shoved her glasses onto her face. Thoughts of Ranwell crossed her mind and she threw an apologetic thought his way and looked closer at her hands.
Yes, right there, between her fingers. A few grains of sand, glinting and glimmering in the light from the desk. She remembered the weight and the texture of the sand of her life in her hands.
It wasnt a dream! It really happened! She grabbed a piece of tape and carefully picked up the grains with it. Lovingly, she taped it inside the cover of her bible and dated it.
thumpscrritchh!
Dolly ran to the hallway. "Ranwell?" Empty. "Brason?" Still empty.
She went back to the bedroom and shook Bill again. "Sorry to interrupt your interview, but you have 30 minutes to get showered and dressed for work!"
"Ok, ok!" Bill grumbled and kicked off the covers. "Wow! What a dream I had!"
"Bill!" Dolly yelled as she grabbed the tape dispenser. "Check your hands!"
"For what?"
"Let me look!" Dolly snatched his hands and looked at them closely. There! Under the fingernails! She carefully dug out the grains and taped them. "See? It wasnt a dream! It really happened!"
"So why are you saving those grains?"
"Proof!"
Bill scratched his head. "If it was for real, we got a lot to talk about."
"And no time!" Dolly shoved him toward the bathroom. "Shower! Shave! Work!"
"Alright, alright! But I've got lots to tell you!" Bill pulled off his pajamas and headed for the shower.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Dolly called after him.
"I'm still hungry for a banana split!" Bill ducked just as a slipper flew past his head. "No, really! I thought about it all night!"
"I'll meet you for lunch and we can talk over dessert, how about that?"
"As long as its a banana split!"
Dolly shook her head and went to make breakfast.

(your turn!)
