บท 48: Chapter 48: Deal or No Deal

Shaye

After everything of late, that night I fall asleep fast, even crunched up on the floor, my eyes couldn't wait to slip closed.

"Shaye," a male's voice calls me.

I slide open my eyes but I'm no longer in the prison cell but an open field and grass cushioning me. A faint breeze blows past, bringing with it a strong burning smell, and I somehow know this is a dream.

That is the strange part though. I've never been able to tell before, yet here I just knew without a shadow of a doubt that I still dreamt. But this field felt familiar somehow. Like I should know where I am.

Rather than ponder what is going on and the question of something I can't answer, I climb to my feet, only to find myself dressed in a black nightdress, the fabric so thin, it's practically transparent. And I'm naked beneath.

Again, this should bother me, but it doesn't. After all, if it's a dream, who the hell cares. It's all in my head, right?
