The Noonday Demon

I remember a woman from the Hospital. She was a Russian Jew. She showed me a book called "The Noonday Demon". I thought she was a devil. She wanted to be friendly with me but she kept on clawing at my eyes. She offered me as a job tutoring her daughter. I don't know what is real. We played checkers. She had her own rules and did not tell me what the rules were while we were playing. I would try to move and she would tell me that no I was not allowed to make that move, but she never told me what the actual rules were.
