The Actress's Nightmare

I dreamed that I was sitting on the couch, in our old apartment. There was a huge stack of Kleenex boxes in front of the double doors and around the corner. I was coughing and blowing my nose, and my throat was really sore. I was very upset because I was afraid I wouldn't be better in time for 'Evita', which was only a few days away in my dream.

So I went down to Lawtons to get something for my throat. Every box I picked up seemed to have Benadryl in it, and within minutes, I was in tears. Finally I asked Joan, the pharmacist, for a suggestion. "I'm allergic to Benadryl but I really need something for my cold, especially my throat."

I ended up with these strange herbal drops that were bright green and tasted like dulse, and a neon blue cough syrup.
