Reality

She stared upward blankly, her eyes never leaving a fixed spot on the ceiling. You couldn't tell if she was alive or not if it wasn't for the constant rise and fall of her chest. Thick binders full of notes were neatly piled on her bedside table, and her laptop flashed quickly its small No Signal sign. The ambience of it all seemed otherworldly, or maybe that was just the magic of 4 am.
Just as her eyes began to flutter, a blinding white light appeared in front of her, like she'd accidentally turned the dark mode off on her monitor. A grey cursor inside of white 2d rectangle blinked as text typed itself out automatically in front of her. Of course she could see a vague shadow of text in front of her, and hear the droning of an announcer like voice counting upwards, but did she care? No. She had gone almost an entire month without sleep, at this point it wasn't her choice whether she wanted to or not.
Her eyesight blurred before closing to black...

But Reality didn't wait for her.
