I Dreamt I Was in a Trance

nobody@ipernity.com (Alan Mays) — Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:18:55 +0000

A downright macabre postcard for the Weird Vintage Postcards group.

--------

I dreamt I was in a trance, my folks thought me dead. They put me in a coffin; they cried and said nice things about me. All night long the old cat, whose kittens I had drowned that morning, sat on my coffin and gloated over my sufferings; she knew I was alive. I was placed in a hearse and in due time arrived at the grave yard. I could hear the mud hit the lid of the coffin and began to choke when I woke up.

Gates ajar. He has went? His chair is vacant.

--------

Printed on the back: "Bad Dream Series No. 1."

Postmarked twice on Oct. 17, 1910: Once at Middletown, Pa., 7 a.m., and a second time at Manchester, Pa., 9 a.m.

Addressed to: "Mrs. Katie May. Manchester, York Co., Pa."

Handwritten message: "Dear Sister, I wanted to write this [for a] long time but I had no time. We are having two weeks off at the shoe factory. Why didn't you come over? I was at the river. Answer. From Elva, your sis. R.F.D. No. 1."
