So I woke up at 1:05 am from a bad dream...

So, Lily had left the bed, I remembered, at some point earlier. The dogs must've followed but Dog 1 (our older one) always comes back down alone to sleep with me.

I hazily recall her weight jumping on the bed and filling Lily's spot and almost immediately snoring next to me.

Confusedly, I thought Lily was still in bed as I could hear her quietly talking in her sleep. As she has done the past few weeks, which always makes my thoughts turn dark. "The cancer has moved into her brain." Lily is never aware of these talks, btw.

Just minutes later, thinking I'm awake, I hear other whisper underneath Lily's talking. The whispering seems to becoming from the phone handset nearby ( it has a speaker phone built in).

It's a male voice but I cannot understand him. I turn to Lily mumbling and ask "are you hearing that?"

She doesn't respond l. I decide to speak into the handset to see if it's real or not by saying: "fuck you" as I knew that would stop anybody mid sentence or not.

And it did l. The male voice whispered the same thing back. "Shit," I thought. He could be listening to our whole conversation when Kily was in bed.

A bit panicked, I reach over to Lily to alert her to this eavesdropping, but she's not there, as I thought. Only Penny snoring.

I then really wake up by abruptly sitting up in the bed and turn on the tv for light. And right as rain, it's just Dog 1 and me in bed.

I stay awake and mull my thoughts over and figure out who was in the phone. It was the guy in the picture.

The lead character in "La Casa de Papel" aka "The Money Heist". The show on Netflix I've been watching when Lily isn't up for talking, due to her shortness of breath or mood. And that is more often than not. As in 80% if the time.

So, I put the show back and watch another episode in an attempt to replace my disturbing dream back into a tv show.
