Falling from the sun
I woke at 8:30 and tried to sit up. My body was gelatinous and my eyes were wild and loose in my head. The sun shone on my face. I swung my arm to steady myself and couldn’t grab hold of the bed. I fell to the side. I resolved to fall asleep and try again. Some minutes later I woke and the same thing happened. This time I managed to stand, but immediately fell over. I dreamt that you were mad at me, and with good reason, but I resented you; I was only frightened. I dreamt of things in movies only I could see. When I opened my eyes I was too scared to move. I dreamt of you coming back.
I woke up to the door closing and I was fine and I could tell that this time was real.
