In the past forty-eight hours, Winter estimated that she had managed approximately three hours of sleep. As soon as her head hit the plush pillow of her bed—as opposed to the scratchy couch cushions in the breakroom—she was out. Despite the soft mattress and the warm blankets, her fretful slumber was marked by bizarre, vivid dreams.

Though the digital clock at her bedside indicated she had slept for almost a full seven hours, she felt like she had rested for only two out of the seven. Pushing herself to sit, Winter rubbed her eyes and yawned. She could feel a dull ache at the base of her head, but she wasn’t all that surprised to wake up with the start of a headache after a night of such fitful rest.

Before she could scoot over to swing her legs off the edge of the bed, the room blurred as the pain sharpened to a stab. Months had passed since her last vision, but the sensation was so unlike any other that it was easy to differentiate.

As darkness ate away the edge of her vision, she reached one clumsy hand over to the tissue box on the nightstand. She had only just pressed the balled-up tissue to her nose when the world went black.
