He felt the <strong>eyes of a stranger</strong> upon him and, looking up over his <strong>gumbo</strong>, he gasped. "Thought you could <strong>sidestep death</strong>, did you?" Grumbled the merpirate, spitting out the words. His eye patch twitched as he took the younger fishling by the throat. "Where is my <strong>contraband</strong>?" "<strong>Fall on me</strong>!" the merman gasped, and his friends did just that, overwhelming the thief and allowing their friend another few moments of life--and a head start as he quickly swam away.

In the background was the rhythmic sound of Mumbo <strong>Gumbo</strong>. That was strange. He never knew the band to travel from their northern California gigs. What were they doing in San Diego’s north county city of Encinitas? Vanishing like a street vendor’s <strong>contraband</strong> CD, the soulful sounds faded as if they were never there. Rising into view was a <strong>meadow</strong> of softly, swaying wheat. Kissed with the <strong>shimmer</strong> of sunlight, and bowing in silent reverence, it formed a radiant tunnel of invitation. Brett blinked in disbelief – the eyes of the stranger. The sweet, half smile did little to cover the <strong>nude</strong> loveliness, as she stretched her hand to his. Afraid to breathe, Brett whispered, “Who are you?”  “Let it go, Brett. <strong>Let it fall on me</strong>,” slowly she rose, and rose. Bursting from the wheat of ocean blue, the <strong>dolphin</strong> danced on the crest of waves, to the sound of a wailing sax. Sitting up in bed with the sheets twisted around his heated body, Brett shook off the absurdity of dreams. Maybe this was a message that he was just one more <strong>sidestep</strong> removed from <strong>death</strong>. If heaven looked like this, what was he waiting for?
