He stands up at the same time.   The skeleton hangs obediently in his hand.   It's very light.   It doesn't seem to be made from real bones.   Suddenly again Hwbrgdtse realizes it's not a skeleton at all.   It's a rag doll.   It's quite small.   Hwbrgdtse throws it down on the floor.   It lies there in a little heap.   It seems to have had a wig on.   The wig has slipped off it's head.   It lies there.   It's blond.   It's tied in a bun the back.   

50. a possible dream

Hwbrgdtse thought he could have the following dream.   He's in a room.   He's attending a meeting.   The room is big.   There're a lot of people in it.   The number is at least forty.   The people are sitting in chair.   They're facing in one direction. There's a man up front.   He faces the people.   He's speaking.   Hwbrgdtse has an aisle seat.   He's sitting close to the door.   The door is on his left.   It's behind him.   Hwbrgdtse is not following the speaker very closely.   He's not interested in what the speaker is saying.   He's bored.   Suddenly he hears the door open.   He looks around.   It's a skeleton entering the room.   Hwbrgdtse realizes it's death.   He's not surprised by what he sees.   He's a little scared however. Death closes the door. There're a few empty chairs behind Hwbrgdtse.   Death sits down in one of them.   It's also an aisle seat.   It's a couple of rows behind Hwbrgdtse.   Hwbrgdtse turns his head back on seeing death sit down.   He feels he shouldn't be staring.   He tries to behave as if nothing had happened.   Everyone in the room also behaves as if nothing had happened.   The man up front goes on speaking.   It's as if no-one had noticed death entering the room.   Hwbrgdtse feels it's also possible people are merely behaving like he is however.   He tries to follow the speaker.   He's unable to do it now however. His thoughts keep coming back to death sitting behind him.   He feels uneasy about it.   The awareness is like a rock chafing his foot in his shoe.   He grows hot.   He starts sweating with time.   He wonders what death is doing.   He wants to look around.   He feels he shouldn't do it however.   Eventually he can't suppress the urge.   He looks around.   The skeleton actually has some skin on it.   The skull for instance seems to be all covered with skin.   There're eyes in the skull.   Death is sitting with on leg crossed over the other.   It's grinning. It's looking at Hwbrgdtse.   Hwbrgdtse is terrified by what he sees.   He quickly turns his head back. His heart is pounding wildly in his chest.   His heartbeat is drowning out the speaker's words. He strains to hear them. It's impossible however.   Hwbrgdtse's heartbeat is like the sound of a big drum. He looks at the people again.   They're behaving completely normally.   Their attention appears to be completely absorbed by the speaker.   Hwbrgdtse feels it'd be impossible for the people to have noticed death and to behave as they do.   He also feels it'd be impossible for the speaker to have noticed death and to continue speaking as he does.   Hwbrgdtse concludes therefore he's the only one who's noticed death.
