I’VE HAD BETTER DAYS.
For a start, I don’t know where I am. Not in the sense of, I took a wrong
turn off I-45 and this neighborhood isn’t familiar, but more like: I woke up in
the dirt feeling like I got hit by a truck, and looked up to see three suns
blazing in the sky. Three. Freaking. Suns.
It got weirder from there.

I’m dressed in regular clothes—jean shorts, a pretty blue tank with Not
Today, Satan! emblazoned across the chest—but what I’m wearing is the
only familiar thing anywhere near me. I’m dopey, like I took a sleeping pill
last night, and as I try over and over again to identify my surroundings, I
can’t help but wonder whether I’m still dreaming.
Please let me still be dreaming.
Did I hit my head? Because I’m seeing triple. There’s no way there are
three suns in the sky. The air is smoky like I’m standing on the wrong side of
a barbecue. The familiar flat landscape of my backyard is gone, replaced by
black, craggy mountains. One of them, the biggest, looms closer than the rest.
Its top burns bright red.
Someone is hustling towards me. The figure is very tall, very slender, and
very green. And apparently very surprised to see me.
When they speak, it sounds like someone drunk trying to speak a
combination of Dutch and Spanish—but somehow, I understand perfectly.
“Hello, stranger, are you well?”
I open my mouth to reply. “Not really. I don’t know where I am.” I’m
speaking English, but what comes out is that weird, garbled language. In my
voice. I cough and try again. “What the fuck?” Something I suspect might be
ash clogs my throat, and I hack it up. I’m not making the best impression, but
what can I do?
“You will come with me now.” I can tell from her voice that the strange
creature is female—albeit well over six feet tall. She beckons and I stumble
after her. I’m thirsty as all hell, breathing in the smoke-thickened air, and
coughing nonstop. “Poor stranger. I will find you something to drink.”
I pick my way over the rocky ground, following as fast as I can in bare
feet—god only knows what happened to my shoes. We pass between two
giant boulders made of reddish rock. The green woman leads me to a cluster
of dwellings beyond. Each building is low to the ground and rounded, made
from some sort of stone that reminds me of adobe.
