Tunisian Dreams on Santa Cruz Soil

Dad Lunt comes to CA.

We go back to NY in Louages (Justin, too), 4 Dinars for me, 4,500 for Justin. Mine gets there first. I run in to see Mary. Her housemate (Asian) says she’s at her boyfriends. “I know what she wants, and it’s not you” But in good humor. Visit the University the next day. Run into her housemate in class. Meet people. Leave for CA in Louages.

On the way to NY, I’d paid 40 Dinars for a human skeleton. I become the skeleton. Stop halfway back to CA & Justin (he’s a 12 year old now) has to walk back. Follow a set path. Follow an old woman learning to walk the mink of some fat rich bastard. Wind up in Great America (before opening) on a foggy morning. Keep following the path, run into various dangers. Follow a craggy path, almost fall into the ocean –w- hungry sharks. Path blocked by an escarpment from an Arabic castle. We climb in, barely. Almost fall. Dream within a dream. Justin dream that we’ve been thrown into the ocean –w- the sharks by the castle’s spirit for not answering two questions about ancient Arab religion. Wakes up afraid, then tries to shake me awake, but I already am “I never can tell,” he says (remember, I’m a skeleton)



This is a dream, early-mid 1990. Louages are long-distance taxis in Tunisia. Dad Lunt is Richard Lunt; I dated his daughter while I lived in Tunisia, and I spent my first Christmas vacaton while in college with their family.. As for the rest... you be the judge earthwulf
