Rachel couldn't sleep She had rearranged her pillows and got a drink of water everything...except warm milk ...yuck. She wasn't tired enough. She hadn't really done anything that day it was summer break. She got up and started playing on her painfully slow computer. Maybe she should go play on her mom's it was faster.Her mom had probably turned hers off already... she always turned it off really early it was a energy -saving - old person-thing.
4:02 a.m.
"Holy crap". Rachel had no idea it was this late.This game was really addicting.She crept back into bed her parents would freak ... they still called Monday's school nights in Summer. She laughed at herself good thing she could sleep in.
11:30 p.m.
Raymond woke up wondering where he was. He did that most mornings. He rarely woke up in the same place.
This morning he was on a park bench...not surprising that's where he usually was. He tried to remember when the last time was when he had slept on private property. Then he realized that was what his dream was about.He held back a tear. "Don't be an idiot day- dreaming is useless." He looked around westmoreland park. It was infested with ducks. He saw his sign that was on the top of a pile of clothes and beer bottles in a shopping cart. At the bottom the sign said "God Bless". He snorted. When did God bless. God blessed the people with homes and cars and money and meals. Meals that they said "Jesus thank you for this food" over.They never said " Jesus help the people who don't have food" "God bless the people who don't have food". God bless you he said God bless you to everyone who drove by but how many of them said "God bless you" back. How many of them said even once " God help the homeless guy I saw earlier". He realized that even he had never prayed for himself. He headed towards the church. He wanted a friend he wanted a God to pray to pray to and he wanted someone to pray for him. He prayed for himself. He wondered if anyone had heard. That was another thing he wanted to live a day without a doubt popping up after every thought.

haha... so homeless Raymond dreamed he was a video-playing Rachel??
I liked the 'energy-saving-old person-thing' comment. :)
No Raymond did not dream he was Rachel, Rachel was a totaly differant person the whole story was about how Rachel has everything at her fingertips.Raymond has nothing and Rachel thinks her parents are wierd for saving energy Raymond thinks people are weird for never even thinking about other people.It's not a comedy.Gosh Jeremy get it right.
wow... could I be any more blind!! :) I totally misread it... haha. I'm a dork.
But then again, so are you, so we're OK. :)
Haha so true.
