Pix sat up in bed abruptly, startling Frida. They rubbed their eyes. The details were already fading - a bright pink planet, where Pix was a university student - and as they rose to open a can for a yowling Frida, the last remnants of the dream swept away. Just enough time to shower and catch the 7:15.
Elsewhere:
"Taken from us so suddenly. We'll always remember their laugh, their surprising public nudity and their tendency to take final exams for classes they forgot to attend. Farewell, our Pix."
All Pix's school friends stood sniffling as the casket was lowered into the freshly-turned pink soil.
