Introduction 2

Prologue
Dream/Vision
Date and Location Unknown

Jennifer quickly examined what she saw of the room before she got up any further. In front of her was a window with the shades closed, with a door to one side and a radiator underneath. This took up the majority of the space on the far wall. To the left was a table with chairs and two armchairs. On the right was a stenka and a TV on a stand. The TV was very old, or at least a very old fashioned style. I have only seen TVs like that in old movies or movies taking place in the mid 20th century. Why would there be a TV from the 60s here?

Her gaze and attention moved from what was in her line of sight to the bed she was in. I am in bed with someone. There was a man in the bed, someone whom she did not recognize. She had no dreamlike associations or insights of this man being a particular person. But he was still asleep. I need to figure out what is going on before he wakes up. With fear rising in her body and her mind continuing to run, Jennifer took the blankets off of her and cautiously got up.


Ne mogu. I am not going to be able to do this. ... I need to focus. She struggled to figure out how this could make sense. In a TV show, the character may have gotten drunk and gone home with someone. But that wouldn't work for her. Or someone may have kidnapped me in the night. It still seemed unlikely. I must still be dreaming. But she knew she needed to act as if this were real. She tried to work out what she needed to do and found that instead of being paralyzed with fear and uncertainty, she had some instincts, or perhaps training, guiding her.
 
There is something unusual about my thoughts ... and my body. She put this observation aside, however. She could not yet identify what was different, and there were more important concerns.
