Prompt: Animorphs, Rachel, dust in the wind
In his dreams, she flies on wings of her own, golden hair streaming behind her, laughing so loud it fills the sky.
In his nightmares, he never walked home with that group of friendly kids.
In his daydreams, she dances to music he can barely hear, gesturing for him to join her, smiling.
In his daymares, she's screaming for help because there're too many, just too many for her to win by herself, and he tries, he tries so hard to get there – but he never makes it.
But he always wakes up, alone, away from everything.
He wakes up.
