FILL: Try, Try Again, 1/?

Erik wakes up in the middle of a room that's only just starting to become truly familiar, taking in gulps of air as he kicks at the blanket twisted around his ankles. It's a matter of moments to fumble for the light switch. It's 12:01, the clock on the wall informs him as he rubs at his gritty eyes, trying to shake the feeling of sand between his fingers.
Erik is used to nightmares, has relived his past so many times in his sleeping hours he sometimes forgets he has a future. But this was different. His brain doesn't generally feel the need to stage new horrors, digging through a treasure trove of old wounds instead. And this had been startlingly vivid. He thinks about the joke he will make, six hours from now, when he arrives downstairs for breakfast.
"I dreamed you got shot on a beach," he'll say. "You'll be glad to know it was all in glorious technicolor."
Charles will say something wry about no expense being spared for his death scene, no doubt.
Erik shivers and hits the light switch, climbs back into bed.
