Synopsis: She was where she had been a moment ago. But nothing was the same. The sun was coming up, not going down. The air was still, the cemetery neat and tidy. She climbed slowly to her knees. What had happened? She remembered a branch falling, but when she glanced up, she could see no place where a limb had broken off. She couldn't find the flowers she had brought for Mike. "Where am I?" she whispered. She touched the soil beside her. That, too, had changed. The earth was looser than it had been when she arrived, as if it had just been dug up and shoveled back over a coffin. "Mike," she whispered. It looked so very fresh. She stood and began to back up. "No, Mike." Fresh as a body that had just been buried. The brown soil on top of the plot began to stir. "Stop it, Mike!" Jean cried. Something poked up through the brown earth into the air.
