I took a shower and felt tempted to put the necklace back on as I looked at it from across the room. “This is serious, sir. xxx 18 Only four breaths a minute, and temp is 93.”
I was annoyed they had pulled me out of my nice dream of chasing a goat up a mountain. I also felt hungry enough to eat a horse, maybe two. I saw we were speeding down the highway, going at least 80 miles an hour. I lifted the necklace over my head and set it on the floor. My feet were extremely cold by the time I ran the 4 miles to the closest big box store.
