Free Fall

It was the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. Kira woke up to the feeling of falling. She fell through
the darkness for what seemed like hours. Her fear increased the longer she fell. She thought " Where am I?" She screamed but her voice was drowned out by the air rushing past her body. Her mind raced, What would she land on? How did she get from her bed, warm and safe at home to this endless freefall? When will this end?  As abruptly as the falling began, her body jolted to a stop in mid air. She remained stationary in mid air a few fleeting seconds before she gently fell onto her bed. After a few minutes she fell back asleep, exhausted from the terrifying fall.

Kira woke up the next morning, and got ready for work. She grabbed some coffee in the break room at work with her best friend Bella. She told Bella all about her weird night with the falling. Bella said: I think you were having a bad nightmare. There is no way you were actually falling for hours in your bedroom". Kira agreed it was just too weird to have been real. Kira went about her day, taking calls and going to meetings.

After work she and Bella went out to their favorite Mexican restaurant. Kira wanted a couple of margaritas, in hopes that she would sleep soundly tonight. It happened to be Karaoke Night, and Bella egged Kira on to sing a song. Kira said: " Only if we do a duet!" They sang one of their favorite songs, "Its 5 O'clock Somewhere." They called it a night after that and Kira went home to her empty house.

She settled into her bed to watch some TV before bed. She fell asleep during an episode of Friends.

She woke up with an instant feeling of dejavu. She was falling again. She began to ask herself " What is dream and what is reality?"

What do you think? When is Kira dreaming, and what is her real life? Please comment!
