Conditional Reality

Dandelion Streetscape helped homeless sick people by placing her hands on them as they sat on the sidewalk. Every year she took a vacation at a village by the sea. She liked to walk on the beach and wade through waves lapping at her ankles. Once she fell on a rock and scraped her leg. It became infected. When she returned home she found many homeless people had moved into her house. We all have to help ourselves, they told her. Dandelion slept for days. When she woke up her visitors were gone. They returned to living on the sidewalk.
