Appetite
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. Not in my current state. Not in my current room. My fingers reached for my dry translucent skin but watched them find a sun-kissed freckle-splattered face framed by long auburn hair. Emerald eyes gleamed back at me and no longer clung to hope; they glistened with triumph. Surrounded by a range of trees in an empty forest, my reflection reminded me to look forward to the future.

Then, abruptly turning even colder, forcing hues of white and gray to take center stage.

Seven
I hated these dreams at first. Falling. The wind filled my ears as a moist dew from the clouds engulfed me one after another. Yet, my eyes were always oddly unaffected. I’d started using this as a tell to determine if I was dreaming instead of freaking out. I’d look to my left, right, above, and below before smiling and taking in the familiar experience.
