She opened her eyes cautiously and was greeted by a lovely sunny day and the most gorgeous blue sky she’d seen in ages. She quivered from the still fresh memory of the last reality and bit her bottom lip.

She felt between her legs and all was well.

In the near distance she heard a little music, it sounded like a Motown hit; perhaps something by The Supremes.

Daisy sat up and immediately noticed the absence of a headache. And the jump sound had also been different; quieter and not quite so sharp.

So that’s what good sex felt like.

Wow!

A shadow crossed her legs. A man-sized shadow.

‘It’s about bloody time,’ said The Assassin.

‘Oh crap,’ said Daisy, closing her eyes. I’m done for.

They flew open at the screaming sound of something moving towards her very, very fast.

AAAAEeeeeeeeerrrr!!!

The sound terminated just above her head with two meaty thumps.

‘Oh for crying out loud,’ wailed The Assassin, and fell backwards with two arrows protruding from his chest.

Daisy regarded this development with some surprise, but there was also the feeling of being a stray mushroom that’s fallen from the pan to the gas burner below.

She stayed where she was, closed her eyes again and calmed her breathing. It’s fine, she thought. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, that’s what they say isn’t it?

Of course, if you’re a trespasser, everyone’s your enemy…

This wasn’t calming her survival instinct all that well.

Another shadow crossed her legs. Daisy opened an eye, hoping for the best and realised this could conceivably include being killed quickly rather than horribly slowly.
