It was dark. But bright. No. It was mostly dark. But just a pinch of light. Snap out of it! It's just a room with a lamp ever so poorly lighting up the room to prevent it from being pitch black. You know the lighting.

As I start to question reality, the feeling of warm sun rays touch my skin. It feels nice. Too nice. Why am I on this beach? Where did I come from? I turn around to see where I just came from...
'IS THAT A CRUISE SHIP?!'
I've never been on one but I know what a cruise ship looks like and that right there...is a cruise ship. I pinch myself...I flinch. I'm awake...This beach...this ship...the sun...it's all real. It's too overwhelming. I- I don't-
