Jessica's life was always plain and simple. She had a regular old crush, had a regular family, had a regular childhood (albeit not free from pain), and she enjoyed her life. However, soon she realized that she had a very strange gift. When she would dream, her dreams would always come true, regardless of if she wanted them to or not. At first, it was a blessing. She predicted good events in her life, and all of her dreams were always good and made her life the same... But her "good" life turned upside down when she a maniacal creature she liked to call "the Reaper" would show up in her otherwise great dreams. He started ripping and tearing at her, and she got a gut churning feeling in real life over this destructive specter that haunted her dreams... Those were the moments when she realized that her ability may give her more than she bargained for... Notice that since this is just a trial preview, it will NOT be a full story and should be considered a short story.All Rights Reserved
