It wasn’t the scratchy sheets that finally convinced him he wasn’t
dreaming. Nor was it the watery gruel that seemed to get thinner with
every meal, or even the dull ache of his missing arm. Rather, it was the
strange, movie-like dreams he had of a young man named Garrett Klein
whose life scrolled out before him, unreeling in a jerky blur. With every
dream, memories of his life on Earth twisted, merging with the moments of
the body he had come to inhabit. After four days of drifting in and out of
hazy wakefulness as his weak body tried to overcome the life-threatening
blood loss he’d suffered, he finally woke up for real, a clear certainty in his
mind.
He wasn’t on Earth anymore. Hearing harsh shouting outside his door,
he tried to swallow, nearly choking as his sandpaper tongue stuck to the
roof of his mouth. There was a rough mug of water on the floor by the pile
of ragged cloth serving as his bed, but as he reached for it he remembered
that he lacked a hand. It had been shocking to wake up missing his right
hand, but right now, getting a mouthful of water was the only thing
occupying his mind. The shouting seemed to be getting louder, and as he
rolled over and reached for the cup with his left hand the door burst open,
shaking the room.
A burly man stomped into the room, his jaw set and his lips pressed in a
grim line. Behind him, a young woman followed, trying to grab his arm and
suffering a backhanded slap for her efforts that sent her tumbling into the
wall with a thud. Despite the flash of pain that crossed her face, she jumped
right back to her feet and rushed toward the burly man again, only to stop in
shock when she saw that Garrett was awake, shakily carrying the mug of
water to his lips.
Hurrying past the burly man, who had stopped in the middle of the
floor, she helped Garrett lift the mug up, supporting his back as he tried to
prop himself up. His waist seemed unnaturally weak, but he managed to get
himself high enough to get a mouthful of water. He wanted nothing more
than to pour the entire mug down his throat, but he knew from experience
that, in his current state, it would do more damage than help.
Feeling the cool water trickle down his throat, he took another
mouthful, holding it in his mouth and letting his parched tongue absorb as
much of it as possible. Swallowing was hard, so rather than take another
drink, he lay back down, his strength all but exhausted. Seeing he was done,
the young woman put the mug down on the rough floorboards and turned to
face the burly man.
“See! He isn’t dead!”
“Doesn’t matter if he’s dead or not, I told you, your time is up. You’ve
stayed as long as your coin will last, so it’s time for you to get out.
