The following story is an incomplete 'scene' that played out in my mind during a very bizarre dream I had. I never finished it, but today is my birthday and I wanted to find some little gem in my incomplete story files to share. It might not be for everyone, but then, what story is?
Bill was driving home from work, when his phone lit up with a text message. "Please come see me. Something's happened, and I'm scared." It was odd, since it was from Sapphire, a friend of his who he chatted with occasionally. He was nearly home, but decided instead to come to her house. It was dark by the time he got there, and he knocked on the door to her apartment.
"Just come in, I'm in the bedroom," came a shout from inside. Bill wasted no time making his way there, glancing at the distraught mess of the room around him. He opened the bedroom door to find Sapph sitting on the edge of the bed, crying, and hugging herself tightly with her arms.
"What's wrong, Sapph?" he asked, approaching her, but she quickly wrapped her arms around him in a hug.
