“It’s time to wake up, my darling lamb. Up now, come along, dear.” A warm voice pierced her ears through a dream as an impossible heat warmed her skin; she opened her eyes and screamed.
“This can’t be real! This can’t be real!” She screamed as she hopped out of the burning bed; flames seeped into her skin, burning her, but not melting the flesh.
“Oh, you didn’t think that little dream was going to last forever did ya? Good heavens, oops, I mean Hell. You’ll learn soon enough dear.” The woman who woke her up giggled as she left her in a pillar of flame in the middle of the room; outside the small window, rows and rows of similar rooms flickered like Christmas lights.
