The Four Eccentrics
Park
You plummet into dazzling light. Far below you a tiny disc of rumpled landscape rushes upward, surrounded by turbulent dark ocean that is fast becoming the horizon.
It's ok, you tell yourself. You'll obviously wake up before you hit the ground, after all. That's how falling dreams work, right?
A sickening THWUMP reverberates through every nerve in your body. Your left arm seems to have come off.

Park (in the pit)
You come to in a field, with things that look like lone trees barely visible here and there to either side. You are lying in a shallow pit, arms and legs outspread, just below the surface of the earth.
A wispy tangle floats above your head.
