Just a Dream

When Rachel woke up in the middle of the night, she felt an unusual pain at her right leg. Maybe it was a bug bite, she thought, or maybe, she was just half-asleep and making up things. She switched on the light. With further inspection of her leg, she found three raised red, and irritated dots down the calf of her leg. The were in a straight row, and the red around them connected them like a line down her leg.

She found this weird, but didn’t think too much of it. She told herself she would ask her dad about it in the morning. He was a doctor, and knew he years of experience with things like this. She went to the bathroom, and then back to bed. Within the moments of her head hitting the pillow, she fell back asleep.

In the morning, she checked her leg to see if the dots were still there. To her surprised, they were gone, as if they had never been there. She decided not to mention them to her father during breakfast, or her friends at school. What was the point, if there was no evidence of it ever happening?
Maybe, it was just a dream.
