You had been travelling companions with Lucy for 5 days now, your goals may have been different but you found yourselves heading in the same direction so you decided it would be safer to stick together.

You were currently adding wood to the crackling fire, you had noticed Lucy shivering 10 minutes ago so you were doing all you could to help keep the girl warm while she slept.

What you didn’t know was that she wasn’t shivering because she was cold.

Lucy was completely trapped in her dream state, she could feel the cold sweat coating her body but nothing was bringing her out of her nightmare.

Her own father was looking down at her with a huge grin on his face as he reached out and gripped Lucy’s wrist tightly until she was a whisper away from the huge giant red button in front of them. She watched on the screen as her mother and brother were in the kitchen baking blissfully ignorant to what was about to happen.

He chuckled as he pressed down her hand onto the button and forced Lucy to stay fixed on the screen in front of them as a missile was slowly working its way towards the house her mother and brother was in. It wasn’t until it made impact and she could hear the explosive did she jolt up awake with a gasp.
