maren hadn't been sleeping well lately. that wasn't unusual- she couldn't remember the last time she'd gotten a full night's rest without being woken by the imagined sensation of someone breathing in her ear or putting a hand on her forehead. a side effect of her vivid and unsettling dreams. she didn't often let it carry into her day this way, preferring to chug a red bull instead, but yet here she was on her morning run with sleep still in her eyes and fog in her brain. it was little surprise when she tripped on her shoelace and went headfirst into a cheery cardboard sign welcoming visitors to the spring festival. yet another reminder that she could no longer trust her body. ears burning in embarrassment, she clambered to her feet and vainly attempted to fluff the trampled display, keenly aware of the observer behind her. "...they should really put a fence up or something," she scowled.
