A voice startles you just as you began to slide into sleep. Go, dream, seize this moment, it says.
Your mind stirs and answers sleepily, “Why? We already know what’s out there isn’t worth it. We have everything we need right here.”
Your mind is suddenly filled with a thousand possibilities. Excitement, concern and a feeling of looming uncertainty wells within you like a slowly draining battery.
“How much longer can I live like this?” you think despairingly to yourself.
Tick, tock.
