Prelude: Lost Rocket Summer
Brilliant golden flames leapt everywhere about her. The heat seared her skin. Cathy Gale stood in the center of the room, spinning around, eyes searching desperately for a way out. There was none. She was doomed...she would be burned to death. She could barely breathe, her lungs seared with every intake of air.... No, it couldn't end this way. Standing here spinning like a top and waiting for the end. She had to try something! Cathy grit her teeth in determination. There! That way....that's the way she would go. She started running forward, low down, with smoke pouring over her, the heat melting her shoes...she wasn't going to make it....she stumbled forward nevertheless...keep going...keep going or else! Suddenly a strong arm was around her, helping her to her feet....Steed! Steed had come at last...Cathy forced her eyes open...there was the familiar bowler, but below that was not Steed's sardonic smile but the gaping grin of a skeleton, with flames glowing in the eyeless sockets.....one skeletal hand held her up and the other hand held a gleaming scythe. Anger surged through her and she yelled at the thing furiously, "Steed!" She began to beat at the thing furiously, striking to kill. Cathy Gale jerked up in bed, eyes wide open, mouth open in a soundless scream. Her breasts heaved as she forced herself to suck in air. Just a dream....just a dream....She had flung off all her covers during her dream...but she was hot...her skin was burning up, but inside she felt the coldness of the grave.
