I couldn't make them understand. 11:43.940 --> 11:47.940 That night I decided that I wouldn't sleep. I'd stay awake. 11:47.940 --> 11:50.940 And if I was awake, I couldn't dream. 11:50.940 --> 11:53.940 At seven o'clock when Freddy got up, I pretended to still be asleep. 11:53.940 --> 11:58.940 I heard him making coffee. Then he came back in, kissed me, left for the office. 11:58.940 --> 12:01.940 Somehow I stayed awake the whole day. 12:01.940 --> 12:04.940 I tried to buy something at the drugstore to stop me from sleeping. 12:04.940 --> 12:07.940 They wouldn't give it to me without a prescription. 12:07.940 --> 12:14.940 And then at five o'clock Freddy called to say he had to entertain some out of town people that night. 12:14.940 --> 12:19.940 After that I had to lie down on the living room couch because I felt sick. 12:22.940 --> 12:27.940 I won't. I won't. 12:27.940 --> 12:31.940 I'm not going to go to sleep. 12:31.940 --> 12:36.940 Oh, I've got to lie down for a while. 12:36.940 --> 12:40.940 In a minute I'll feel all right. 12:40.940 --> 12:44.940 And I can get up. 12:44.940 --> 12:47.940 In a minute. 12:47.940 --> 13:01.940 In a minute. 13:01.940 --> 13:05.940 There's that big hall again. On the staircase. 13:05.940 --> 13:09.940 I can see her looking up into the dark. 13:09.940 --> 13:11.940 You didn't come last night. 13:11.940 --> 13:12.940 I know. 13:12.940 --> 13:14.940 I was waiting here. 13:14.940 --> 13:17.940 It didn't come down though. The thing up there. 13:17.940 --> 13:19.940 You couldn't have been here. 13:19.940 --> 13:21.940 I was waiting for you. 13:21.940 --> 13:23.940 I was waiting for you. 13:23.940 --> 13:25.940 I was waiting for you. 13:25.940 --> 13:27.940 I was waiting for you. 13:27.940 --> 13:29.940 I was waiting for you. 13:29.940 --> 13:31.940 There's the thing up there. 13:31.940 --> 13:34.940 You couldn't have been here. You're only me in a dream. 13:34.940 --> 13:36.940 When I don't dream you're not here. 13:36.940 --> 13:39.940 I'm always here. I have to see the things happen. 13:39.940 --> 13:42.940 Things don't really happen in dreams. It's imagination. 13:42.940 --> 13:44.940 Oh, no. It isn't. 13:44.940 --> 13:47.940 Look up there in the dark. It's up there. 13:47.940 --> 13:48.940 Waiting. 13:48.940 --> 13:50.940 Soon it'll start to come down. 13:50.940 --> 13:51.940 How do you know? 13:51.940 --> 13:52.940 It does. And we'll have to run. 13:52.940 --> 13:54.940 But if we run we can't see it. 13:54.940 --> 13:57.940 Perhaps if we didn't run and we saw it, we wouldn't be afraid anymore. 13:57.940 --> 13:59.780 It's going to come down. I know it is. 13:59.780 --> 14:01.280 We won't run. We'll wait for it. 14:01.280 --> 14:02.880 I can't. I'm afraid. 14:02.880 --> 14:06.580 You're me. I'm not afraid now. You can't be. 14:08.320 --> 14:09.120 Look. 14:10.120 --> 14:13.920 The darkness at the top of the stairs seemed to move, take shape. 14:13.920 --> 14:16.520 And I saw, heard her screaming. 14:16.520 --> 14:19.720 Ah! Ah! 14:19.720 --> 14:23.240 Slowly, painfully, she turned away from the stairs and tried to run. 14:23.240 --> 14:26.280 Her legs moved, but she stayed in the same place. 14:26.280 --> 14:29.000 Then the darkness started to come toward us. 14:29.000 --> 14:32.600 It swirled down the stairs and there was a figure in it and a face. 14:32.600 --> 14:35.280 But the mouth and the face wasn't a mouth at all. 14:35.280 --> 14:36.780 It had no form. 14:36.780 --> 14:40.200 And the face changed and grew bigger, came closer. 14:40.200 --> 14:42.940 Around it an awful blackness. 14:42.940 --> 14:45.440 And I saw myself running. 14:51.540 --> 14:54.240 We were standing in a narrow stone passageway. 14:54.240 --> 14:56.180 It was cold and damp. 14:56.180 --> 14:59.180 And the other girl who wasn't me was holding a gun. 14:59.180 --> 15:00.880 We both were. 15:00.880 --> 15:04.980 And we looked behind us because around the corner, out of sight, 15:04.980 --> 15:06.740 it was following. 15:06.740 --> 15:08.900 I heard the telephone ringing. 15:08.900 --> 15:12.340 And I couldn't understand how there could be a telephone in that place. 15:12.340 --> 15:15.180 I'm tired. I can't run anymore. 15:15.180 --> 15:17.840 We'll rest for a minute. 15:17.840 --> 15:19.800 It sounds like my telephone. 15:19.800 --> 15:21.140 How can it be? 15:21.140 --> 15:23.000 Because this is only a dream. 15:23.000 --> 15:25.640 If I wake up, I'll answer it. 15:25.640 --> 15:30.800 It's on the table at the end of the couch. 15:30.800 --> 15:33.480 I can wake up and answer it. 15:33.480 --> 15:35.340 No, you can't.
