BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZZZT!
"Ugh..."
I woke up with a pounding headache as I snoozed my watch.
I felt like every thought I had was all over the place.
That dream was weird... Did I pass out on the balcony? Or the floor?
Wait... how did I end up on the couch?
ACK!
Another strain of headache and I'd have to take Panadol..
But I couldn't shake the memory of that strange dream before I blacked out on the balcony. I had seen a girl with no face and blonde hair.
Who was she? Her presence felt familiar, reminding me of someone from my past. I knew the characters in my story had connections to the real world, but I wasn't sure if this dream figure represented anyone here.
Even if she did, my memories of the character sequences were distant. The person I knew didn't exist in this world. At least our last memory together hadn't ended on a sour note.
Uwahh...
I stretched, my stiff muscles with a satisfying crack.
