Tessa searched in her purse and found a half empty bottle of pain reliever. She thanked God she had a few left. She didn’t get headaches often but when she did they could get bad quickly. A quick shower helped dispell the tenseness in her muscles. A t-shirt from Kristian’s dresser would have to do. She laid down on the bed, luxuriating in the softness of the mattress.

She tried her best to block out thoughts of her foster parent’s violent end. There had been many times over the years she said she wished them both dead for what they did to her. Now that they were gone she realized that was never true. She only wanted them to care for her. But like her real parents, it was beyond their ability.

Sleep didn’t come easily, but once she slipped into unconsciousness, the dream came quickly.

Tessa was back at the street fair, but she wasn’t sitting in a booth. Instead, she was walking around, browsing the wares of other merchants.

But this fire was actually a bit larger and more involved than one she had been too lately. There were jugglers and musicians. An artist drew sketches in coal, charging five bucks for each drawing. A man played the steel drums, a cheerful song which was familiar but Tessa couldn’t name. He smiled at her as Tessa passed. He had a big smile with pearly white teeth. It wasn’t until she got close to him that she realized he didn’t have any eyes. The skin beneath his eyebrows was perfectly smooth.

Tessa clapped a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming and continued on her way.

She briefly stopped at a table where a woman sold rare second-hand books. “Do you need something special?” the woman asked her. She was a lady in her mid to late sixties with smooth ivory skin and blush to her cheeks. Her long silver hair was plaited into a single french braid which reached her waist.

“No, just looking,” Tessa replied.

“I think this may be helpful,” the woman replied, placing a red book in her hands. Tessa’s name was written across the cover in gold, cursive script.

She opened it, flipping through the pages from back to front. They were blank. Until she reached the first quarter of it. She watched in amazement as she saw the pages being filled with writing, the same loopy writing that covered the front. She dropped the thing to the ground.

“I don’t need this shit!” Tessa said.

“Yes you do, darling,” the woman replied. “Look at your hands.”

I had not picked it up, and she had not passed it back to me, but somehow, I was holding the book again.

“You need every word,” the woman said. Her eyes turned black. “Go now.”

Tessa ran. She dropped the book into a trash can as she did. Eventually, she looked around, pausing to catch her breath.

She was back at the entrance to the fair.

A backpack hung from her left shoulder. When she opened the bag, the only thing inside was the book.
