The Time L-element (Part 1 Of 5)
-A Doctor’s office, nine minutes ago. It is 11 o’clock AM on a Saturday.-
She sits across from his desk. The Doctor, a psychiatrist looks over his notes of information about the patient. His name is Dan Foxworthy and his Saturday session with the patient appears to start normal enough.
Dan: Miss Schecter, according to this, you’re young, appear to be in good health and have not visited here before.
Jenny: No. I always thought it would be a waste of time until now.
Dan: Are you from here originally?
Jenny: No. I moved here about five years ago, I believe. I’m here in West Hollywood. As a matter of fact, the Planet cafe a few blocks down I used to work at and a friend of mine owns. So what do you think so far, Doctor? Do you think I’m crazy or just something that passes for normal in this neighborhood?
Dan smiles pleasantly.
Dan: Are you here with family?
Jenny: No. My mother still lives in Ohio with my stepfather. My family here would be my circle of friends and they’re dysfunctional enough.
Dan can see in Jenny’s eyes that she seems unsure about being there.
Jenny: Do I need to sit on the couch or what?
Dan: No, we can start here if you’re comfortable.
Jenny nods.
Jenny: I have a feeling you’ve made a decision about me already. That you’ve prejudged. I’ve seen it in your eyes, Doctor Foxworthy. You’ve looked at me, my clothes. You want to pigeonhole me into a predisposition.
Dan looks on, curious to where this is leading. Jenny closes her eyes and rubs her temples with her middle fingers, trying to soothe her nerves. Running her hands down her face, Jenny sighs and stands, in an effort to walk off her nerves. Dan looks on as she does.
Jenny: I want you to predispose this. I keep having this…dream. Over and over. I know it sounds crazy, but this dream has been recurring for almost a week now. Every night. It’s always the same…I mean, exactly identitical. Have you ever experienced anything like that?
Dan: Sure. I’m sure most of us have. What is your dream about?
Jenny paces the floor as Dan looks on.
Jenny: It’s always the same. It never changes. And it always starts with me in bed. It’s as if I’m waking up from a long night’s sleep. When this crazy dream started…I had just kicked my roommate out.

Interesting… maybe Jenny’ll get a chance to do things… hm, if not right, at least differently this time around. Which is a good thing. Nice start. Thanks for posting.
