gently, the night

from euclid's "elements" book one, postulate five: If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.

use def. as epigraph for story concerning old woman and her three dreams. each line representing a dream and the time line from which it comes; the intersection of said time lines; the limitless plane on which they all exist; the infinite nature of time; the loss of the concept of time and the slow disintegration of time into one plane in which there are endless amounts of lines, the original three now destroyed; breakdown of laws of time, science, math; relativity, the speed of time vs. the perceived speed of time; if time and perceived time stream at different rates, does it really matter to the person perceiving it because of the lack of ability to alter that perception (i.e. a woman with alzheimer's) woman lives in mexico. has fever. dreams ensue.
maybe drop the mathematical aspect of the story. keep it simple. focus on the three nights, dreams. use 2 page time sketch as a foundation.
glass, sand, time.
possible title: gently, the night
