I’m with my family. We’re deep in the woods at first. I find a penny. While we talk someone dies. We have to go somewhere else, we travel in a coach with horses. I find a dime. Mom dies on some steps outside a house. She is buried in the wall of the house. Then I find a quarter. That seems big. I think it means I will die. But then people start coming back to life. Mom comes back to life on the steps outside the house. I wake up. There is a nickel on the floor of the laundry room. I don’t want to pick it up.
