I was going to be late. I hurried downstairs, grabbed a cereal bar and ran for the bus stop.

"Good morning! Is everything - ?"

I waved at my neighbour. "Sorry! Can't stop! Running late!"

The bus pulled up at the stop just as I got there. I climbed aboard and sat down in my usual window seat. The person across the aisle nodded at me. "Morning."

"Morning."

He coughed to get my attention. "Tell me, have you ever had that dream where you are naked in public?"

"Sometimes. Why do you ask?"

"Well ... ." He looked me in the eye. "Today it's not a dream."
