There wasn't much in the local news today, outside some dull political rumblings that you don't really follow. The comics are funny for a change, especially that Banzai Bunny strip. How do they come up with these ideas? No one you recognise in the obituaries or announcements. Student wins poetry contest. Local sports team loses against hated rivals, but you don't care much for winter sport. By the time you reach the classified ads, you're dosing in your chair. The paper falls over your lap, and soon you're fast asleep...
Pleasing dream of the lake shore, and those deep blue waters that seem to sink into forever. What a beautiful girl, waving to you from a boat. The cabin looked smaller from the outside, but it is more like a lodge now that you can see clearly. Mounting spaces. The staircase leads you to a room, and she is holding your hand, whispering something you don't hear.
Your joints are a little stiff when you wake up, but it is so warm and cozy under these clean sheets. Wait. You, you fell asleep in your chair, didn't you? You don't own pyjamas with these rubber duck patterns. The lamp is gone, and that is definitely not your alarm clock. This isn't your room at all! How did you get here!?
