I wake up in a startle. I almost fall of the bed. I blink several times and let out a groggy breath. My alarm clock even hasn't rung yet. The old cuckoo clock has not chimed yet. I pull my hair back. Ugh... looks like it's only 6:00 am. I feel my arms were clammy. So... clammy. It feels like I was in a sewer. I get up and open the windows. Apollo has not yet taken up his chariot. Most of my siblings were asleep I'd hazard a guess.

I grip my head. Well... I have a lot of work to do. I turn on the light of my lamp. I flip the light switch on. I pull out my staff. There's no use trying to go back to sleep now. I shoot over to the bathroom. I flick my hand, and the clear water pours out. I pull my pants down and move into the shower.

I run my hands over my hair. Gods... that same dream. Again, I've dreamed it. Again, I've seen this... this... creature. It had snake like... legs. I can't even pin the creature down. I pour the soup over myself but it's just a dream. It means nothing.
