It was always the same dream. Or, rather, always the same nightmare. She woke up in a strange house; a large house somewhere away from the road. It was dark in the house. The sun was just coming up over the horizon and so the light was yellow and bright where it came in through the windows.

She remembered it as it she had once been there before, but she knew that that wasn't true. She'd never been in California before, and certainly never in a movie star's house there. She could see the dust floating in the air as she walked through the open rooms. The movie star lived there with her husband, who was a director from Eastern Europe. They were both celebrities, but he was probably better known. She remembered that the movie star was pregnant with their first baby. It was very quiet in the house and yet she felt very afraid to be there. She came around a corner after passing through a dining room. That's when she saw the blood on the floor and that's when she saw the bodies. That's when she screamed and woke up, shaking.
