I dreamed a short story about a young girl who falls out of the sky and lands, along with a row of seat from an airplane, in a couple's backyard. The woman rescues her and befriends her and eventually takes her to the airport to re-unite her with her family, but then she's already with her family and when the woman looks back to the girl she brought with her she's not there and we're left wondering was it a dream, was it not a dream. Is the woman mentally ill? Is she being gaslighted by everyone? There is no way to no. There was, in my dream, something deeply unsettling, disturbing even about the ending, a kind of gothic horror to it that I think would be very hard to do well, but if I did pull it off, would be pretty good.
