Sleep creek

In the stifling heat of the afternoon, a solitary elder drifts into memories of the past, dreaming of her younger self. Yet within this melded realm of time, the woman in the dream glimpses her future self in old age. A lifetime feels like a fleeting moment. When she wakes, it takes a while to settle back into reality. Now, she is an aging woman, her partner long gone. The worries are no more, and neither is the time.
