A woman is daydreaming. 
A woman is startled awake from a nightmare.  
Sometimes in her dream she is Scheherazade and he is the King.  
He asks her for one last story and she knows that tonight, too, they won’t go to sleep.  
Sometimes in the dream they switch roles; she is the King and he is Scheherazade.  
He tells her a story. It’s a pretty classic tale:  A man and a woman meet, there’s something between them... an energy they act on.  
The dream can’t last.

A woman is dreaming that she is putting a child to sleep.  
She's singing a lullaby, an old song someone once sang to her: On a bench in the street, or back when she was in a crib.  
She really had a child... or almost.  
She really was a child...  long ago.  
In the dream, the child gets lost — or maybe it’s the lullaby?  
How can you lose something that was never truly yours?  
A woman gets lost, as if "lost" were a place she loved.
