I'm riding in the car w/ m dad late at night.  We keep driving into very narrow corridors between houses and fences and have to frequently back out.  He's trying to get me to school in time.  As we're walking in someone's yard heading to the car, I notice there's some very smooth dog poop on my feet & legs.  I stop to scrub it off, using the light drizzle to wet my legs.  I dip my leg in a ditch and am startled to see a pair of legs in the water.  I walk up the length of the body and see that the body is holding a child.  It's Sofia and Susannah just under the surface of the water.  I scream and cry and pull them both out and hug their cold wet bodies on the pavement.  In my sorrow, I have the odd feeling that they'll come back to life somehow.
