Choices

Excerpts from Linao's journal.

Jeriel said he wasn't sent to wake me. He was really sent to prepare me for the first hunt.

He said when I was ready, he would tell me more.

I don't know if I'll ever be ready...

But maybe that stranger was right. Maybe I don't have to be.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Would it be so hard to fall back asleep... To pretend this was the dream, and to wake up where I was before?
