You ARE asleep, Lucy. You will wake up and it will still be Thursday and you'll realise you're late for work. Cassie's face will be everywhere - On the TV, on the phone, on the inside of your bathroom door, behind your eye lids when you blink. And then you shall wake again only to realise that this was also a dream and you're stuck in a hellish dreamscape that you can never escape.

And then you'll be born.
