It was almost as if it were listening to the wind. Pablo was fast asleep and could not hear the snake in the grass, but he could almost hear the wind in his dream as it moved slowly and softly. He turned over on the bench with his back facing the ocean and felt the wind gently sweep over him, swirl as it hit the top of the bench, and then move out across the grass and up the land, above the small snake that had somehow disappeared. Pablo thought he was about to wake up, but he was unsure if he was waking up—if he could hear the wind behind him coming over the bench—or if the wind was in his dream.
