HUNGER GAMES PEOPLE

Hey.

A friend from college came to visit over the weekend for my birthday and ended up staying a bit longer than anticipated. He leaves tomorrow, but I was wondering if you all might want to come over for dinner tonight to meet him? Maybe grill some burgers and have some Wilkerson's deli salads? Or we could do like a potluck kind of thing.

Anyway. His name is Dion [...] and he's dreaming about Peeta.

I'm interested.

Hey, you. I have some news.

Good morning. How are you?

OCEANA

Did you know that you're officially going to be Mrs. Waters in less than a month?

Hi. So, guess what.

FRIENDS, MINUS WENTWORTHS

I don't know how much of a surprise this is, but I wanted to let you all know that Wyatt and I are together -- again, I know. But this time we actually talked to Kylie about it, so it's more serious than it has been in the past. It's [...] very good, I'd say.

OCEANA

Just over a month to go! How are you feeling about everything? Anything else I could be doing to help you that I'm not already?

Who: Nick Waters and Oceana Ridgeway

[...] Okay. I can do this. You can do this.

Hello. For those of you that don't know me, my name is Bridget Grant. And I'm [...] I'm dreaming about Helene Aquilla.

I know that there is someone out there that is dreaming about someone else who Helene doesn't have the most supportive or good relationship with. That knowledge has kept me from being upfront about this, because I was afraid of how you might react and that was maybe a bit selfish and cowardly on my part. I don't know whose sake I was keeping it to myself over, but I don't know if I can keep it to myself any longer, wondering who you might be. And so, I thought that maybe you were in the same boat and I wanted to give you the option to know and the option to come forward.

You don't have to, obviously. Just because I'm doing this doesn't mean you need to now or ever. But I wanted to extend that branch, just in case. Please know that I try very hard to separate myself from that world and I don't hold any of the same views or feelings that Helene does, in case that is a worry, too.

[...] That's all. Everyone have a good Wednesday, okay?

I think we all know by now, either first-hand or otherwise, that the dreams here in town can be [...] hard to deal with at times. The reasons for that, I'm sure, are just as numerous as there are residents of town. But- and not to sound overtly smarmy, here- one way or another, we get through it together.

In an effort to bolster that latter sentiment, some of the local veterans and I were discussing starting up a new support group. For those who didn't already know, there is an open and confidential support group for military veterans on the first Saturday of every month, out at Dunhaven Regional Airport. But given that this group is specifically for those of us who served in the military in our real lives, we [...] wanted to offer a way to branch out toward those who served in their dreams.

We're not asking anyone to out themselves, of course. And we're certainly not therapists or professionals. Rather, just [...] sympathetic and understanding ears. But if you're interested, please let me know, and we'll get something scheduled in December. (You can respond anonymously to this post, if you feel that you need to.) Anything shared at the meeting would remain strictly confidential. Having a safe space for those of us who are dreaming along such veins is the most important part.
