Day 57: Rebirth

It's here to take me away! A creature from the sky! No, please no!
Meggan had woke up to calm her baby, Dillon. Poor thing! He'd been having a lot of nightmares recently, it seemed. "There is no need to fear, my brave little warrior," Meggan said softly. Actually, it came out as a low growl which made Dillon's eyes grow bigger.
Meggan felt like a brand new woman; nearly reborn! She felt stronger, more aware of things around her, and her senses were heightened. This transformation was amazing, but she couldn't figure out what had caused it. Oddly, it felt like she had always been this way. The previous weeks or months were becoming a blur to her. She still had key memories of her life, but the essence, the flavor, the details... those seemed to be fading from her memory. What remained seemed unimportant, anyhow.
The cold weather didn't bother her either. It should, shouldn't it? She remembered being cold, but the sensation of cold seemed like a distant memory. She could tell it was cold outside, because her breath created a fog. It didn't affect her skin, though. In fact, the sunlight was certainly doing something to her skin. Something told her that sunlight was supposed to be dangerous, but she remembered being in sunlight before without problem. Except that her skin now sparkled, and she couldn't figure that out. She looked at her skin thinking that it sparkled like the evening stars in twilight.
She was at a cafe. She wasn't sure why she came here, but she was ready to leave. She had noticed a spacecraft in the parking lot, but paid it no mind. She thought it should be odd that it was there, but it felt rather ordinary.
Something caught Meggan's eye and she ran towards it to see what it was. She was already there! That was awfully quick, she bemused. She ran to the end of the street and found herself at the end before even completing a thought. Amazing!
Meggan ran home, feeling exhilerated. She was in a great mood, and a rather playful one. She saw her daughter and decided to sneak up on Temeka and give her a good scare! The little pest deserved it!
