A Hayu's Dream

it was Sue who was upset. The lady who broke my wrist has a protest to keep me out from working there. Sue told me Kurt told her he was the gunman who made us sick. He admitted that before they got married. I asked about the lady who broke my wrist. Sue told me her name is Penny Smith, a lady who believes in perfection like people have to be a certain height, weight and not engineered or have disabilities. She had a protest because I wasn’t perfect for the store. I’m mad about that. It is rude of Penny to do this. After Sue’s call the phone rang again and it was Anna who called. She asked me to show up for work tomorrow. I told her about Penny. She explained Penny is in jail for the protest and for assaulting me. The trial is on February seventh which is weird that trails here are speedy. I have to be there for witness testimony. I didn’t do much for the rest of the evening. I had dinner and took my shower. I have to get up early. I think I’ll go to bed now.

  Yours,

  Dear Anne,

  Yesterday I had a day off from work. I showed up at work and Anna who saw me, told me to take it easy and does something fun like shopping. The people were nicer to me, probably because of my wrist. Anna told me the trial starts at 10am Earth East coast time tomorrow in the community center. She gave me the day off. They let me wander around doing some shopping. I could have sworn that I was followed by two guys dressed in armor. They had their swords drawn and their visor down so I couldn’t see if who they were. I felt like that they reminded me of someone but I’m not sure. I didn’t see Sue because it was her day off. I hope she’s doing fine. I can’t believe Penny was rude to me. Humph. After work I shopped for some clothes for real. I looked for sweatpants I found a jumpsuit that is made out of sweatpants material that reminded me of a prison wear garb. It was zippered. I liked it. It was in my favorite color blue. I felt like I was led around the store by someone holding my right hand and my left hand forced to feel objects. I forced myself to stop this and went to where I wanted and got the item. Then another weirdest thing is when I went to Georgia Holm at the cashier to pay for it she told me someone brought it for me. I suspect Bruce but I’m not sure. I brought the items home in a shopping bag. I walked home in the snow. Good thing I was wearing my boots. I hope they find something to do for Penny. I pity her. I pity that she has weird beliefs. Then I watched a video then went to bed.

  Today I got up at 8am. I set my alarm clock to go off. I had pancakes for breakfast prepared by you-know-who. Then at 9:30am I walked to the arch again. I went to the auditorium and found it empty. I'm surprised that cases like assault are done swiftly. Interesting it was curious. I had a hard time finding the trial room. I went to the auditorium office and asked Jayna who ignored me for a bit while reading a book for help. I had to shout at her to get her attention. She rolled her eyes and still laughing at me was nice enough to help me. She stomped thru the dirt straw pass the auditorium to the double doors with the two knights standing there. Then she stomped away. I walked up to the knights who picked up my left wrist and waved some laser from their hands and then they opened the door. Inside was a huge courtroom from a TV show complete with a judge and a hidden jury. There was an interpreter who was Luke Arkov. He interpreted the trial. I sat next to Bruce on the benches with other people from the town. The trial started at ten according to the clock on the wall. Penny came in the room with handcuffs on and an orange jumpsuit. She glared at me. I feel sorry for her. There was a judge named Wood with grey hair wearing a judge robe sat but he appeared to have some sort of crown on his head but I’m not sure. The defense a man and a woman both with green hair that were for Penny, asked the judge to dismiss the case. The judge refused to dismiss the case. He asked the prosecution to call his first witness. The prosecution was a man and a woman who appeared to be Native Americans dressed in furs. They called me to the stand. I got up and walked to the stand which was a chair next to the judge’s desk. I was giving a book, some sort of Bible to swear to for telling the truth. Then the prosecutor the Native American man who I never learned his name asked me what happened. I told the truth about Penny grabbing me and forcing me to the front of the store and I felt like I got an image of an angry white wolf that was attacking me whenever I thought of mentioning my ability to change into a wolf. I mentioned Penny yelled at the manager to get me fired. I added about getting pain in my wrist. I had to go to a doctor and found some ligaments torn. Then the defense for Penny asked me questions. They asked no told me they thought I might have misunderstand Penny. I told them Penny never asked me for help with something. I was truthful. After that the judge dismissed me and I sat down next to Bruce. Anna was called to the stand. She told the room about seeing Penny dragging me by my arm and kicking me too. She also said about Penny demanding me to be fired. The defense asked if I was rude to Penny. Anna told them no. She saw the video of the cameras that showed that I was polite to Penny. They didn’t include that episode of me being a wolf. I guess it was my mind that invented this wolf thing. The videotapes were added as evidence. Then Anna left the stand. Both the defense and the prosecutor gave closing arguments to the jury who were hidden behind a large black window.

  Then we sat and talked among each other as the jury decided on the verdict. I couldn’t sign very well because of pain in my left wrist. Bruce kept his arm around me and kept sniffing the air. I asked him in finger spelling with my right hand what he was sniffing for but he wouldn’t tell me at all just snuggled close to me.

  The jury took an hour to decide Penny’s fate. The judge announced their verdict on some paper. They found her guilty. She was sentenced to two years in prison at an island colony. The judge also mentioned Penny must be fluent in sign language at the end of her two years in the island prison. I feel sorry for Penny. During the whole time Penny turned around and sat glaring at Bruce and me.

  I lip read her saying something vulgar towards me several times that it was rude of her. She was taking away by a policeman dressed as a twentieth century cop complete with a cap. He had a smirk on his face that reminded me of Penny. Weird. After the trial, Bruce walked me home with that uncanny sniffing ability of his. He found the house thru the fog again. I invited him inside the house for lunch. After lunch we watched a video. Then Bruce kissed me on the lips as he left the house. He went home. I got a phone call from Anna. She wanted me to show up for work for eight hours tomorrow. I agreed. I set my alarm clock. I had a tiring day and it was really weird. I felt like the trial was like a mock trail in a jail or in an insane asylum. I’m relieved that it was over.

  Relieved,

  Elizabeth

  Dear Anne,

  Work was fine yesterday. Anna told me there was a flying class that night. I checked the schedule. I was working the next day. The customers were nicer and neater. I didn’t have much to do. Sue showed up for work. It was nice seeing her. I was disappointed that I didn’t see her at the trial. I asked Sue about that. She explained she had to work. She couldn’t leave work. We talked about her pregnancy. She’s getting a little big. I think she’s putting on weight for someone who's one month pregnant. Sue explained that pregnancies are different here but she was quite vague on that.

  Whenever I asked why she would always say the word “Different”.

  I was glad my shift ended. I felt bored. After work I went to do some shopping with Sue. We shopped for maternity wear which were dresses with empire waists and body tights. I feel jealous of Sue. Then Kurt came to pick her up in a car. He drives? Lucky him.

  I went to the flying class by the foggy route where Jeff gave us a test on the booklets. I asked him about the stimulators. He said their coming soon. I can’t wait. Bruce was in class. We had no problems understanding Jeff who oddly picked up sign language fast. After class Bruce walked me home. He kissed me on the lips. I watched him leave. I had dinner, which was the same thing I had yesterday. I watched the weather report. The news said there was going to be a snowstorm during the night.

&nb
sp; The weather report wasn’t kidding about the snow for I woke up and looked out the window and saw the snow. The underground pipes melted the snow pretty fast. I tried to wear my twentieth century clothes to work but the ghost wouldn’t let me leave the house. Anna called me and told me to dress in up in a dress like what I’ve been wearing. She mentioned that it was the dress code. I wonder how she knew that I was dressed in my twentieth century clothes. Today was payday at work. I got about two hundred credits on my credit card. It was good to earn money. The customers were nicer and neater. I was quite bored at work. I checked the schedule I have a day off. Sean called last night. He told me to come in early tomorrow for checking my wrist. Sue showed up to work. We had a nice time talking. She complained about the nausea and the trouble with keeping her food down she has with her pregnancy. I didn’t have much to do. I was bored. After work I walked home. I had some food to eat. I didn’t know what was in it. I set my alarm clock early to go to the castle area for getting my wrist checked. It feels better. I have no problems showering. The cast is
