I couldn't sleep.
It was 7:00 AM. I'd been up all night. I don't know why I couldn't sleep. I think I finally did, about 7:30 AM. Fortunately, there was nothing on the schedule for that day.

I was running. Mark was chasing me. Next thing I know, there's a wall of dynamite around me. It explodes, and everything goes black.
Then, I see some light. I can make out a blurred silhouette. "Uh... Hannah," he says, "Is this bad?" He sounds exactly like me. "What did you say Kyle?" said a second voice. She doesn't sound familiar. I can't move. "What are these readings?" the first one asks. I see another silhouette. "Oh!" the second one says, "It's that glitch Seth was telling us about." "I thought so," the first one says, "It's been happening a lot recently." "Yeah," says a third one, who doesn't sound familiar either, "Seth's working on it, he says we'll probably have to disable explosions in the dream sequence." "He told me that too, Elijah," says a fourth one, who sounds exactly like Shadow, "It's happened twice to me." "Yeah Collin," says the first one, "I guess we'll have to deal with it in the mean time."
Then I sat up in bed. What a weird dream. I looked at the clock. It was like 10:00 AM. Then, I suddenly forgot all about the dream.
