It is early morning, still dark outside. I have just walked down the stairs from my room. There is a gumball machine in the middle of the kitchen that dispenses tea. I grab a glass from the cubord and get some. I think it is odd that there is a gumball machine in the living room, one that dispenses tea at that, but I don't really think about the significance of it. I almost take a sip, but I notice that my hand is very hot, so I set the glass down and go get an ice cube out of the freezer. the tea disolves the ice cube in less than thirty seconds. I can tell it has cooled down, but I decide to get a glass of water before drinking the tea. I grab another glass from the cubord, and drink some water. I notice a sticky note on the gumball machine, it says to take the gumball machine outside at 2:15 AM. I get up early, but not that early. It says to bring the machine back inside at 5 something in the morning. I look out the window into the blackness, I wake up.
