5 A.M.


I sprint into the Flamingo-infested water as my stalker chases me, and I splash the shrimp into his face, but to no profit as he grazes my nape, causing me to shudder since the dining hall is so cold and my friends across from me agree, then Christie eats a connolli, but she is severely lactose-intolerant and so I run to her room for her meds in the snow outside, and as I power walk I witness my Golden being rammed by a moose, and as I hurry over to her limp body, she whimpers and falls into the fragile ground into my own room, where a corn-on-the-cob with arms is popping popcorn kernels in my mouth, and the kernels shove into the crevaces of my throat, and then they pop out of my ears sending a feeling of sensual pleasure as I moan out and when I open my eyes, there is a shadowy feminine figure hovering above me, but this feeling stops and the figure disappears as I focus on the computer screen that says Reconnect with Daisy, but I yell, I can’t because she’s dead, and the stark realization that my sister is dead brings out my sobs, and I cannot stop until my physical face feels tears shrieking, awaking me to full awareness, and I immediately dial my sister’s number under the faded light from the window behind me.
