Dream

Have you ever dreamt a dream so real, only to wake up from it terrified, not knowing if it was just a dream? Your mom will hear your screams, and hold you until you calm down, telling you it was all a dream, nothing more. But there are times when you cannot wake from it, until it all passes. You gradually drift out of your sleep... still believing in that nightmare.

The two sisters have turned away, expecting screams. All they hear is the grinding crush of bone, a gasp from her friends, and a low moan coming from the girl herself. "Help me..."
The machine jams.

And everything goes dark.



The little sister wakes up, still hearing the echoes of the girl's weak, desperate cry for help. She knows the girl is dead. A bitter aftertaste is left in her mouth, and she thinks a selfish thought.

This is the start of her day.
