A Shift In Time

Jesse was trying to wake up but her eyes weren't cooperating and her brain seemed trapped in the fog left from a deep sleep. As she tried to make her mind and body wake for the day ahead she carried on an internal conversation with herself. Come on Jesse let's get a move on, there are things to do and people to see. It is a new day after all. Even as that thought came into her head came the realization that what day it was seemed to be eluding her consciousness. The day before was lost in the same fog that still enveloped her mind. Okay she thought I must have been seriously exhausted when I went to bed and this is just morning amnesia. Still as her eyes struggled to open she wondered what she had done on the mysteriously lost day that made her so exhausted and on a side note why am I smelling newly mowed grass and why is this bed so darned hard. Jesse moved to stretch and realized that she wasn't actually on her bed but on grass; her eyes snapped open as she woke fully. Looking around in panic she discovered she was laying on the newly mowed lawn of the Three Pines Country Club. To add to her disorientation, when she stood a lace covered gown tangled in her legs: a lace covered wedding dress to be exact. What the heck had she done the day before and what day was that anyway? Jesse stood gazing around her with panic in her eyes and her fist in her mouth to keep from screaming!
