In My Dreams

“What would be your dream life, BabyB?” It was OldRuin again, having had time to mull over what I’d said to him yesterday.
“I’ve no idea,” I replied. “But I guess it’d have to involve having financial security for my mother. Maybe pay off her debts, get her a bigger house.”
“And what would you be doing?”
“I don’t know. I never imagined I’d be a barrister but I kind of like it now I’m here. Sounds sad but the security thing’s the only bit I’d change.”
“Will you grant me a wish, BabyB?”
“Of course, OldRuin. What?”
“That you try to stop making plans and start dreaming again. Dream like you were a child again.” He hesitated before continuing, “Boundless.”

I’ve no doubt that I looked more than a little perplexed and he fell back into a voice I’ve heard him use before, only just above a whisper. “It’s sorrow and longing which carve out the depths of your soul, BabyB.” Again he looked at me, this time a little wistfully before adding, “But it’s your dreams which give it life.”

BabyBarista is a fictional account of a junior barrister written by Tim Kevan. You can buy the latest BabyBarista novel, 'Law and Peace' on Amazon. The cartoons are by Alex Williams, author of The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus.
