"Not awake -- not asleep -- here, Phoebe, where I speak."
DREAM! -- Only a dream! -- Can't touch me ...
Other voices then -- garbled, and burbling, it seemed to Phoebe like a laboratory crowded with scientists talking underwater:
"Subject's gone too deep. Doubt she even hears you."
"Tonight, then. Another approach."
"Fear worked."
"Only got her attention."
"Subject nearly arrested. Dead sleepwalker's no use to us."
"Fewer theatrics tonight then."
"If she stays."
Time had passed, Phoebe realized, opening her eyes: golden sunshine forced her eyes shut while she rose from the rocker.
Downstairs, the reassuring clatterings of kitchen pans.
