I am moving into a new apartment with my family. There are other people living there, a man and his adult son. The son ,whose name is David, is a few years younger than me and attending college. After moving in, I go out onto a walkway that faces a courtyard in the middle of the building. The courtyard is completely filled with water, and it is very deep. The walkway has no guardrails. As I walk, I see my daughter heading for the edge, before I have time to react, David pulls her from the edge. After securing her inside, David and I continue to walk. Suddenly, he pins me to the wall. He leans in to kiss me. I shrug out from under him. "Don't be silly," I say. "I'm married."
"So what if you are?" he answers.
"I love my husband." I look at him with sad eyes. I hate hurting people.
He stops and looks at me. "If I were more fit, had abs and stuff, would you want me?"
I sigh. "If I were single, I'd give you a chance, but anything that might be between us is not worth losing him over. I really do love him."
I continue to walk. As I walk past an open closet. David backs me into it and closes the door. He pins me again and starts to kiss my neck. I push him off of me. "You just don't get it, do you?" I look at him angrily, my eyes demanding an answer.
He looks defeated. "I'm sorry. I'll stop."
I try to open the door, but it is locked. I bang on the door and scream, but nobody seems to hear. I decide that nobody is coming, so I sit on the floor next to the door. I see a figure drawn on the door (I don't remember what it was) and markers in a case affixed below it. I begin to color in the figure. I am almost done when the door opens. It is my husband. I throw my arms around him, glad to see him and glad to be saved. He pulls me aside. "Did he do anything to you?"
I glance at David, naked defeat in his eyes. "No, it was an accident," I answer.
After we all leave the room, I pull David aside. "I'm sorry I had to hurt you," I tell him. "If I had met you first, maybe there could have been something between us, but I love him. I can't lose him."

I am locked in a large room with a dozen or so other people. One wall of the room opens to water with a network of docks to walk on, but escape by swimming is not an option. The water near the docks is electrified. Somehow, I know this is some twisted version of a reality TV show. We have to complete challenges. The losers are executed. The winners are set free. At least, that is what we were told.
I watch with boredom as two people complete some task out on the docks, one young woman and one middle-aged man. It is unclear what they must do. When they are finished, a short woman with long jet black hair comes in the room and summons the two people. They stand directly in front of her, shaking with fear. Inwardly, I roll my eyes. I am humoring my captors, but I am not human and can escape any time I wish. I stay because I want to watch what happens. She asks the two who covered the most area. The young lady claims that she did, and the man looks at her with outrage. The short, black-haired woman brings up a screen on the wall and replays the actions of both the competitors. The young woman has lied; the man has won. The young woman begins to tremble and cry, knowing she is going to meet her death. If only she know that they were both going to die either way...
I am called upon to complete a challenge, but before it starts, I leap several yards across the water and land outside of the electrified area. I regret not being able to finish the show, but I will not be competing against any pitiful humans today, nor will I suffer their sad attempts to execute me.

I am not me. I am a young woman, maybe 19 or 20, with long dark hair down to my waist. I am pretty but not beautiful. I am lying on my stomach on the bed with a workbook in front of me. Next to me is a man about my age. We are studying together. Without ever having heard it, I know his name is Luke, and we have a connection between our spirits, we can feel each other and communicate telepathically.
He asks me a question from the book, and I answer correctly. “Good job.” He says, and leans in to give me a quick kiss. We lock eyes for an instant, and he kisses again, more passionately. A strong wave of arousal washes over me. I roll over, and he is on top of me, his hands all over my body. I press my body into his. I spread my legs slightly and reach down to grab him, but something is in my way. I look down and see a green device cupping his member, and I know I have to answer another question correctly before it comes off. Dissapointed, I reluctantly turn back to my book, looking for an easy one.
Suddenly the other girl is in the room. She has a connection with the other boys, like mine with Luke. “It’s coming.” is all she says. We all pile into the shower and turn it on, because the water will protect us. Still, I am apprehensive. The older of the other two boys, the teen, complains that he is embarrassed. I look over and see that he has a hard-on. I smile inwardly. Looks like the other girl got more questions right than me. The girl asks to see our lifelines. We all pull out waterproof monitors and she looks at them.
I can only think about the feel of Luke's body on mine, and how I want to be naked with him. The little boy declares that he is scared. I wake up.
