The dream started well enough. Lena was hanging with the guys at the fire station, waiting for the next call to come in. None of them liked paperwork and used any excuse to avoid it. Right then, they were taking turns flipping playing cards into Coop’s boot. She’d just had a run of five in a row. Ha! Let them beat that.

Coop’s worn face was creased in a smile. The pencil pushing would get done eventually, but he was the first to admit that sometimes they needed to play. Once they blew off some steam, they’d get back to business.

Suddenly the clock on the wall started spinning and spinning. Then random images flashed in front of her eyes, fading as fast as they came. They started with the fire, the big one where three people died. She’d tried so hard to solve that case without using her secret talent. Sometimes peeking at a scene with it helped, but she couldn’t solve cases with knowledge that she couldn’t document or explain.

With the big fire, though, temptation had proved too strong, and she’d cheated. Because of her weakness, more people had died. Her fault. Her fault. Her fault. The refrain of blame would end if she could wake up, but when she was awake, Coop was dead and buried, draining her life of joy.

Yet this time, her awakening was different. When she stirred, a strong arm shifted, pulling her closer to a banked fire, where she was warm, safe, and protected. She surfaced long enough to recognize the source: Sandor. Her lips curved in a contented smile. Her lover had been amazing in his determination to please her.

He’d kissed her long and hard and in places she’d never been kissed with such focused intensity. The sex had been way better than good, from that first hurried coupling when they’d barely shoved clothing out of their way, until the last time, when they’d been too tired to do more than move slowly and savor the experience.

She cuddled closer against Sandor’s side, hovering in the world between dreams and reality. She breathed in his scent and smiled at the tattoo on his bicep. She’d seen something like it once before, but she was too sleepy to remember where. Why had he chosen such an odd design? She softly traced its outline with a fingertip and felt a slight buzz. How strange. Curious, she tried it again, this time covering the incredibly detailed tattoo with the palm of her hand.

As soon as her skin flattened against his, a terrible darkness, roiling and blacker than black, roared up to suck her down into a nightmare world. Tentacles of pain and fear with a touch of madness plucked at her, pinning her down and holding her prisoner. She couldn’t move, couldn’t run, couldn’t breathe; couldn’t even close her eyes as a horror show played out in her head. Animals suffered. Fires flamed hot and then faded, each bigger than the last.

People dancing, dancing, frantic and terrified as the walls around them dissolved into flame.
