A swirly cloud of something that looked like fog filled the room, and then faded into the night. A man lay sleeping in a bed, covers pulled up to his chin. The clock next to him showed "6:59", then quietly flipped to "7:00" and began to beep.
Jim was asleep, and right in the middle of a very exciting dream, when the loud beeping of the alarm woke him up. He blinked his eyes a few times, rolled over and turned off the alarm. He lay there in bed for a moment, remembering what he was supposed to do today.
He shook the sheet-wrapped figure next to him. "Hey, Shar, you'll never guess the WIERD dream I had about you last night!"
The figure rose. Four arms stretched and two mouths yawned.
