Prologue: Dreams
"When I was a little girl, I had these dreams of a man. A magic man. He lived in a land with burnt orange skies and dreamy red grass. He lived there with his wife and children and me. He treated me like his daughter, though I never thought I was seeing that I had parents of my own in reality. For weeks I had the same dream over and over again. The magic man and his wife were crying, then the magic man would leave in his blue box. Large and metal creatures would come and destroy the planet and kill all the people until I was left. Then a bright light shone and I felt like I was burning, and then I woke up."
"How long have you been having these dreams?"
"Ever since I can remember."
And that is where our story begins, with little Katherine Todd's dreams. The dreams that never made sense. Dreams of the past with hints of the future. Dreams that could write time.
