Indecipherable

THE DREAMS HAD A SENSE OF urgency encoded in them, though it wasn’t clear who or what was calling for a response. Pharaoh knew he had to act quickly. But how? What was he supposed to do, when the meaning of the dreams was indecipherable, like words written in an unknown script?

He hated uncertainty. As he walked from one end of his bedroom to the other and back again, hours before sunrise, his mind couldn’t find a resting place, and his agitation grew. Like his revered ancestors, he had been entrusted by the gods with the welfare of the whole land, which depended on him the way a young child depends on its father and mother. It was his sound judgment and planning that secured the blessings of prosperity for every subject in his realm, from nobleman to peasant. Yet how could he even begin to assess the situation in his present state of confusion?

He felt as if his arms had been wrapped tight and bound to his torso by thick coils of rope from which he couldn’t burst free. He wanted to pick up one of his priceless ancient vases and hurl it against the wall. He wanted to strangle someone.
