Dream

Chapter one: Katie

Katie

Her eyes fluttered open, looking around her. She rubbed her eyes. "Where am I?" She said in a sleepy tone. "Did I just wake up standing?" She asked herself. She then saw a figure in the distance,it was quite hard to see who it was but she can definitely tell it was a kid. "Hello? Are you lost?" She walked towards the kid, but the more she walked towards it, the farther they were. 'Should I help them?' Before she could even make a decision she heard a huge thud. She turned around to where the noise came from.

She then woke up, realizing it was all a dream. Her head went up to see a stack of paper that needed to be organized. "Stop sleeping on the job and get to work." Her boss, Andrew, said. Before she could say anything he walked off. She just rolled her eyes then grabbed the stack of papers and started going through it, sipping on her now ice cold coffee.

"I should probably stop drinking coffee now." She said putting the coffee down. She got done with work a few hours later. She looked at her watch. It was 7 on the dot. "Leftovers again, I guess." She walks to her car while looking into her purse to find her keys. She grabs her keys and starts fiddling with the keys looking for her car key. Once she gets the key, she slides it into the keyway, turning it until it clicks. She opens the door and gets in her car.

About 30 minutes later, she arrives at her house. She kicks her shoes off and closes the door, locking it from behind. She loosens her tie, she then goes to her refrigerator to grab one of her left overs. "Chinese. Again." She then grabs a plastic container with Chinese food inside. She then grabs a fork and goes to sit on the couch.

After dinner she goes up to her room and flops on her bed. "Another exhausting day. I can never take a rest." She turns around to where her back is pressed against the bed and her face is faced towards the ceiling. She then gets tired and passes out.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" A little boy said in the distance. She woke up on her bed, but it was in the street. "This....Is a weird dream..." She sat up from her bed, wiping the crusts out of her eyes. "Hello?" She started looking around for the boy, it felt like she should. She saw a blurred figure in the distance. She walked towards him, not saying a word to startle him. She walked a little closer but a cat ran towards her and scratched near her ankle.

She woke up, feeling and aching pain near her ankle. She sits up, lifting the bottom of her pants to check where the pain is. She sees scratches, the same spot the cat scratched her in the dream. "What the..?" She rubs her eyes. "Must have scratched it while I was asleep." She looked at the time, it was 1:28 in the morning. "That was a short dream, how did I sleep for that long?" She lays her head back down, she goes back to sleep.

The alarm goes off at 10:25 in the morning. She groans, hitting the alarm clock. She looked at the time and her eyes widened. "Why didn't my alarm go off at 6!?" She sits up out of bed, her hair a mess, her shirt unbuttoned to her collarbone. She yawned while getting out of bed. She walked towards the bathroom, having bags under her eyes. "I believe I slept well last night." Her hand comes up to her eyes, wiping her eyes. She then cleans up and rushes to work.

"Explain to me how you are late, and don't say traffic." Her boss said. "I'm sorry, my alarm never went off." She said, "Look, just admit you slept in. It's not that hard." Before she could even say anything he walked off.
