I had always wondered how I was different. Mother always told me I was, but I never understood it. At school I had never gotten bullied, and whenever I was out in public, I got whatever I wanted.

I would then wake up-or at least I thought I was awake-and I would be laying in a field of fire. It was so real. The fire didn't affect me, but I was scared every time. I would look beyond the heat to see the universe in front of me. It was the beginning of time-the beginning of the universe, yet somehow, I was always back in time for breakfast.
