A Coincidence That Appeared Out of Nowhere

She had a hazy dream.

She dreamed that some terrifying scene jolted her awake. Then, in the darkness beside her after waking, she vaguely saw a figure who had been sitting there quietly all along. One foot rested on the front of the car as he stared blankly at the night sky, lost in thought.
