Ashley: I goggled disbelievingly at the image that lay before my large, separated eyes. I was only about 13, but never in my life had I seen such an astonishing sight. Still making a decicively difficult effort not to lose my head (though I wouldn't have been very surprised if i had, just then, with all the extremely strange things that had been happening lately) I looked down at the note clasped in my bird-like claw, and pondered what it could mean. "Three dreams" it said in bold print. But to what significance?
