The dream was vague, but they always were. Bad smells, loud noises, and screaming, so very much screaming. She was screaming. And so loud, so really loud. He was trying to fend something off flailing as he clawed at it, the pain, the smell, he needed it to go away. And still the screaming, so much screaming. It wasn’t until he fell off the bed that he realizes the dream wasn’t screaming, he was.

Characters: Autumn and Open for Everyone
Setting: The Courtyard, during the fireworks show

Autumn had tugged a spare sheet out of the wardrobe in her room, and dragged it out into the courtyard to sit on. She was lying on her back, staring up at the sky as the explosions of color were just starting to play out. It was absolutely beautiful, in a wonderful way.

She felt free today. Even if they were still technically locked up, she was still not free to live her own life and leave, she felt so much better than she ever had in prison. It was Independence Day, and there were even fireworks. Life was good.
