Jaime woke with a start, sweat beading on her forehead. She looked out into the darkness and screwed up her eyes as she tried to remember the dream that had woken her up. After a moment, she let her head fall back down to her pillow, then fumbled under the covers until she found her phone, hidden deep in the folds of her sheets. She squinted at the glowing screen as she held it up to her face.

She dropped her phone as she felt herself teetering on the edge of sleep. "What a weird dream," she whispered to herself. "It's like a whole year passed by..." The words tumbled from her mouth slowly, falling into her pillow and then sinking away forever. After a moment, she was asleep again.
