I sat up in my bed after having a nightmare. I am the kind of person that is easily scared and get nightmares easily. I have the usual nightmares like going to school in your underwear, haunted houses and all that jazz but I have the kind of nightmares that are a little strange. In every nightmare there is always a man somewhere in the dream. And it's the same man every time. He just kinda stands there like he is just a random dude. This really distracts me from my work even if I do have the easiest job ever. I got up got dressed, kissed my husband, and went to work. My husband and I work together. We work for a strange place called Rehctac tirips Aleba. I have worked for them for about 25 years and they know of my nightmare condition so they gave me a pretty easy job. All I do is go there and when the bright red gloom fills the room with the light I press the big red button and it turns off after a few seconds. My husband just got promoted so now he does the same thing. I think since I have the nightmare condition, they thought that my husband might help me focus. His name is Radley. Radley asks me "Abela, since it's my first day working her and all, can I ask you something?" "Sure, anything!" "What does the button do?"
