Dreaming; Night of
February 5, 1987

       9:39              I was in a foreign country. I left the hotel to go exploring about a bit. I was told on a bus that there were jeepneys in service in this city, which made me very happy. I tried unsuccessfully to find one for a while. Then I went into a convenience store. I looked about, gathering together some items in a cart. A young boy raced in, upsetting my cart. I was furious and made a big scene. The boy placed three gold coins in my hand and then vanished into the crowd. I found out that he had been a legendary ghost of the city, not a real boy. (G)
