Wed Jul 31 2073 Meiko stirs in her sleep. The patterned lightning burns her skin, an acrid scent of ozone permeates her dream-scape. She's running from dogs, killer bees. She reaches the safety of the pagoda and senses a bright but cooling light on her skin. She rustles and kicks off her coves, unconsciously reaches for where Ken used to sleep until so recently. A memory of his abduction shudders. Suddenly, the light gets cooler, then colder, then freezing. So cold her mind goes numb and the light aches. She wakes up screaming.
