I was singing to CeeCee to get her to sleep, and she was babbling on about falling stars that were uncles, and we should go check to make sure they were alright and not hurt---
and now I am walking up a barren beach, sky slaten above me. I may be cast in a human body, but I still retain my Self. I know I was not on a shore a moment ago, so I must be dreaming. But it's so startling, the transition. I worry that I am not here due to just dozing off, but because I was put here.
Damnation.
I walk briskly up the shoreline, passing bones of great monstrosites washed up from decades ago... or days. I cast my gaze about, looking for My Lady or our daughter, wondering if they are here as well.
Presently, I find a woman of middling years, picking away at a net. I have seen her in town, but do not know her name... or if I am merely dreaming her or if she is here.
"Excuse me ma'am?" I call out pleasantly enough. "You have not seen a little red-haired girl and her mother, have you?"
