The Observers

I had the strangest dream last night. I had died. There I was cold as ice sat watching those gather at my graveside Odd as I wanted cremation. But I digress. Why was I cold? Do the dead feel the cold? So there I am in some half existance watching people turn up and suddenly a voice next to me says: "Didn't expect you so soon" There next to me was my grandmother. As the people arrived she asked who they were and who did I expect to be there. She even told me who I should have married. A bit late now but to be fair you said that when we were alive. Then as the service started she got up and walked away. "Are we not going in?" I asked. She smiled and said no, those words aren't for you, they are for them. Anything you should have heard they should have said already. Anything you didn't say you can't now. I then ask where do we go now? She smiled and said "We? I'm going back to heaven. I think you're going somewhere else" I woke up to the dogs paw trying to wake me to let him out to pee. Stood in my undies behind the front door thinking why did I eat a ham and cheese sandwich before I went to bed. I blame the cheese.
