A smelly situation

I open my eyes

I am on a train

Molly is sitting next to me, Jane across from me
They are playing with cards

I look at them
It seems Jane is winning

No wonder
In all the years I've known Molly, she never won any game
She is too nice to be a winner I guess

MOLLY: Lina, you are awake!
JANE: Sorry we played without you. Molly didn't want to wake you up.

Of course, she didn't

ME: It's alright. Where are we?
JANE: We are almost there. 2 more stops.

MOLLY: I can't wait.

The train stops
I see some people getting off the train, and others getting on board

A lady arrives next to us
S he looks at the number on the last vacant seat and smiles at us

LADY: Well ladies, it looks like I am with you.

She sits
Molly and Jane greet her
Her face looks familiar

She sees me looking at her


LADY: Are you alright?

I think I am being rude

ME: Sorry, it's just... your face looks so familiar. Have we met before?
LADY: I don't think so. What is your name?
ME: Lina. What is yours?
LADY: Melissa.

Ah

ME: Ah.

Never mind

ME: Yeah no, never mind.
LADY: Well, I am a nurse. Maybe we met at the hospital? It actually happens more than you think.
MOLLY: Really?
JANE: I am so bad with faces. And with names too.
MOLLY: I am actually pretty good with that!

Only nice people are, Molly
And I think we have already established that you are one of them

No need to brag
Jane, on the other hand, is obviously not a good person

I look at the bag Melissa is holding

Then it hits me!
Of course!

A nurse!

ME: Wait, I remember you!

I guess I am a good person after all
Suck on that Jane

MELISSA: You do? Well, I am glad.
ME: Yeah, you were in one of my dreams. You were also a nurse, only I didn't know your name.
MELISSA: In your dream?

It all makes sense now
I must be dreaming again
And that Melissa lady is like a regular character

I did not know that was a thing though
