By Adam Thorpe. Dominique dreams of an angel. Is it a vision, or merely indigestion?

By Adam Thorpe. 4 Extra Debut. In a monastery in the French Alps, brother Dominique dreams of an angel. Is it a vision, or merely indigestion? Read by Adam Godley.

Adam Thorpe's intriguing story, specially written for Original Shorts, is set within a monastery in the French Alps. Brother Dominique wakes from a powerful dream - almost certain he has had a vision of an angel. 

Those wings seemed very persuasive as they descended, beating in a golden blur. But when the local blacksmith and his son come up the mountain to repair the great oak cross that stands at the top of the pasture, the monk begins to have doubts. 

What was the real meaning of his dream? Did it represent something more worrying? The answer is surprising and, in Adam Godley's heartfelt reading, strangely moving.
