Seventies hotel suite with shag long brown carpet
A few trees inside
One big one in the middle of the room
Quite a few animals wandering around
I looked out to the balcony
Saw a few caged ones
Sort of wild ones that couldn’t roam free
A few cats, some birds, a platypus, giraffe head looking up from the balcony
Few mice, different types of bugs
A racoon wandered out from behind the shelf
Spoke perfect English
Was a female racoon
She asked if she could stay with me and the animals
I said angrily
No you cant stay
You have to leave
There are many wild animals here
She seemed sad at my response
Kind of pouted a bit
I felt sad for telling her to leave and i don’t know why
I told her i was scared the animals in the cage would get out
And attack her
Because she was so shy
I reached over to the table
Saw about 6 or 7 half inch chocolates
with gold lines on them
kind of twirled them a bit
threw them at each other
decided to eat one
i looked around
no coon in sight
why did i say that to her
i hope she is ok
she is welcome back anytime
i hope she knows it
