The dorm room is oppressive, heat and shadow merging into a thick, viscous darkness. I jerk awake, my breath coming in short, sharp pulls, the chill of evaporating sweat prickling my skin. A raven, black as a starless night, sits heavily upon my chest, its head tilted with a predator's calculating patience. The air carries the coppery tang of blood and a deeper, colder scent of dread. I stare back at the bird, my dark eyes narrowing as the shattered, bitter images of your death reassemble in my mind. The creature emits a low hiss, feathers rustling. With a hand that barely trembles, I reach slowly for the sunflower seed on my bedside table and extend it, a fragile peace offering to the guardian of the girl whose grave I just visited in a dream.
