Dreams 5

what's the matter, dad?

i don't know. i'm tired.

i've translated the prime number into digital, analog.

322. All prime numbers.

All prime numbers.

what shall we do today?

In the summer, we go to Clearwater Florida. Dad usually reads on the beach. Dad reads on the beach. I go swimming in the waters. The waters are warm. Sometimes my body becomes tangled with seaweed. I keep on swimming though.

Dad used to work for the CIA. He went to Yale and wanted to make it big. Skulls and Bones wanted him for his mathematical brain. They tried to squeeze out as much as they could, then he stole a few million dollars from them and a price was put on his head.

He says that you can analyze all CIA targets in terms of prime numbers. Sooner or later, the prime numbers become more and more rare. Sometimes, I see real tears in his eyes. He is not an emotional man by nature. He is reading Ayn Rand now.

I like swimming. I feel free when I swim. MY name is Emily. He named me after Emily Dickinson. I'm 12 years old. I have dark hair. I like to swim. I like to read. Sometimes at night, I dream that the stars are cast like dice on water.
