In my dream I begin to question if my friends should fly the plane I bought on eBay back to the East Coast; their stuff is on board and they are mostly seated, but so much could go wrong: can they really pilot? Where will I store the plane out there until I can fly it back? Meanwhile the plane idles on the grass of the back yard.

In my dream we rush down the ramp to get in the doors ahead of the crowd and as we do I see P, bowed in a khahki coat, pushing his way out. My light mood curdles and I avoid his eyes.
