Part One Entry
Your main character in your story is either a female caregiver or nurse working at a long term memory care facility, which cares for those in the later stages of dementia.. One particular patient, Mr. Thompson, has a diagnosis of stage four Alzheimer's. He exabits what appears to be hallucinations, where he is talking to people he imagines in the room. Knowing hallucinations often are a part of the disease and since it doesn't appear to cause Mr. Thomson any distress, she doesn't pay much attention to the conversations he is having with the imaginary person or people. That is until, he looks at her one day and says "He's angry you wore the red dress for that man."

This statement is significant because the night before she had a date with a man and wore a red dress.

1. What is the significance of the red dress?
2. Who is the "he" Mr. Thomson is referring to?
3. Is Mr. Thomson's friend here to help, or is he malevolent?
