earthquake in garden with tropical fruit

[neighbor]

I was visiting a blogging friend (we've never met in real life) and in his yard I noticed amazing cherimoyas, which I had known in Thailand. We were talking about the fruit as well as whether or not he'd ever met my local crossing guard (named Marshall). Then a rolling earthquake happened, subtle but unusual. There was no indication of damage or anything, it was not a particularly alarming dream, but I had a sense that something scientific was disrupted.
