That night I had the strangest dream ever. I dreamt that there was someone standing at my bedroom door calling me. "Who are you?" I asked. And in Menzi's voice the man replied telling me that I should follow him. I got out of my bed and followed him. We ended up in a place filled with light, the only colour I could see was white. The man then revealed himself. It was my late grandfather.
He showed me three graves and told me to pick one and head towards it to see what was inside. I chose the grave in the middle and walked towards it. I was so scared because I didn't know what to expect and when I looked inside I was shocked to find that there was a wedding in the grave and it seemed to me as though Menzi was the one getting married. I stood there looking at this wedding in the grave until Menzi looked up at me from inside the grave and started laughing. I then turned around to ask my grandfather what that meant but he was already gone.
I was all alone in the grave yard and because my grandfather had left me there, I was so curious to find out what was happening in the other graves. I went to the 3rd grave which was on the right and looked inside. I saw a body rising, I couldn't see who it was until he was fully out of the grave. It was Lincoln and he had a human heart in his hand. It was still beating. It clearly wasn't his because he was cut or anything and there were distant voices of women crying. "Hearts?" he said. I was so confused but at the same time I was so scared that I collapsed in the dream and then I woke up.
I jumped out of my bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I then went downstairs to see if anyone was still awake because I was afraid to go back to sleep. I was confused because I didn't understand what the dream meant. I must say, at that point I missed Menzi because I wouldn't have to go back to bed alone.
I found the boys playing a game of Monopoly, they played that game every Monday night. I joined them but I just kept on losing. I never suck at Monopoly unless I'm really unhappy. I then left them downstairs and went outside for a smoke and then I went back to bed, I was still very much shaken by the dream but I forced myself to sleep.
Just when I was about to pass out, Thobile sent me a text. It read: "I will keep my mouth shut on one condition…" I asked her what the condition was. She told me we'd talk the following day. Shortly after that, KG came to say good night and left.
