She is careful not to be beautiful. Too dangerous. Useful, that is what she chooses, always useful, present, there for the sick and the dying and no one else. If they are not broken, she is not there. She is hiding in plain sight, hiding her beauty and her talent, angry at herself and everyone else. Stay busy, keep helping, don't slow down, do not lower the level of stress

or her dreams will catch up to her.

Dream wave slow build over the years, stuffed and stuffed and stuffed, and now swelling. A swelling in the bottom of the ocean of her heart, it swells, slowly at first. Molten core now, building pressure and now it moves, swelling fast, rising and shooting lava into the sea and building until a new island appears

and the dream wave is thrown from the displaced water and speeds towards shore, lava still shooting in the air behind it, wave rising as it reaches the shallows and huge vast enormous tower wall of water

that will drown us all.
