    The sheets are damp again. And that little tendril of a curl on the right side of my temple that starts to coil when I sweawww.onedoor.cct had started to form. Coffee, I thought. I need to get a cup of coffee and just gather my thoughts.It was the third night in a row of the dream, the same terrifying dream that I'd had since I'd heard the news that I had been chosen for the space launch. My flight instructor had literally laughed when I told him about it. Chuckled and smiled. I was mesmerized as his chuckle developed into a chortle and then a guffaw until he was practically splitting his sides with l...w0done door
