Most people know that Sara survives on little sleep but they don’t know about the dreams that force her to. Don’t know that she relives each case, casting herself as the victim, that she dreams in black and white, the shadowy absence of colour rendering the images even more harrowing.

She dreams until screams rip from her throat, then wakes to soothing colour; the blue of the sky, the bright of the sun, the solid pine of her dresser. To the concerned green eyes and warm brown skin that wrap around her, chasing the dreams away until she sleeps again.
