THAT DAY

I fly home from a Hawaiian vacation to find my two housemates in shock. They tell me our landlady Jade decreed (in my absence) that her daughter Jamie will move in when Brian moves out--whether we like it or not. That's not right. It's one shared house! She'll sleep in the back cabin, but have the run of the main house just like Brian.

I like Jamie, in fact, I'm attracted to her... but that could be a problem. Do I want that kind of daily tension? And I resent having her just... installed like this, like some kind of appliance, while I was away! Feels sneaky and high-handed of her mom.

I wonder what I really think of all this drama. And of Jamie as a potential housemate.

THAT NIGHT

Lit labyrinths under the Earth. Or is it Perelandra? Meet a sorceress riding on a palanquin carried by six servants--little bluish people. She's a teenage girl, naked on her blue velvet couch, except a sort of sketchy string-skirt of jewels, and anklets and wristlets of gold, and a great crest of magenta feathers like a Hawai'ian ali'i... and a wand.

And an attitude. Her aura's vivid--playful, good-natured, smart, sexy, brimming with magic... but maybe a bit spoiled.

Then, on a cave-balcony to my right and above me, several magicians appear. They talk loudly to each other, so we'll overhear:

"So immature!"

"So vain!"

"Setting herself above those servant-beings!"

They ignore the fact they've set themselves above (and to the right of) ALL of us. They've formed a clique and don't want her in. Talk about adolescent!

They prepare a spell-blast and let it fly. A snake of light weaves between the stalagmites to reach her... but she blocks it somehow and angrily hits them back, with a far bigger bolt. Maybe that'll teach them!

Will she see me, too, as a critic to blast away at?

NEXT MORNING

Well... I asked.
