Sooner or later I come across a pheasant. It will be a small portion for the three of us, but I can make it work. I check the time. 6:52.

“Oh No”

“God No”

I whip around and sprint for the clearing.

    “Jesus Marideth, you've really done it now!” And “Oh my God you are such an idiot.” Also,“Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap.”  Were some of the many thoughts going through my head at that moment. I was all adrenaline, wind rushing through my hair, blood pumping through my veins, all senses on the lookout for any signs of a Nightmare. But I was not prepared for what happened next. I hit an object that seemed to be moving about as fast as I was, and realized it was a human body. As I crashed into it I let out a scream and heard a muffled yelp. We landed in a tangle of limbs, and when I looked over I did a double take. I was staring at myself! A grimier, bloodier version at that. I sat bolt upright, staring , not able to look away.
