Rating : 12
Characters : Nick(/Claudia), Jenny

Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 437, Sweet Dreams
Nick stared up at the thin mesh of interlocking plastic; his attempt to map the anomalies’ past and predict their future.

The construction was frozen in time, but also fluid and ever dynamic.

He allowed his thoughts to drift and found he was slipping easily into the sleep that had been denied him all too often recently.

“Coffee?” Claudia Brown asked quietly.

Nick opened his eyes, smiling.

The image of Claudia vanished from his waking dream.

He did his best to keep the smile, but he knew it didn’t reach his eyes.

Unfortunately, Jenny Lewis could see that as well.

Ooh. Eeek. This is exactly what I wanted the show to examine!

Oh, dear. I'm not sure who to feel sorrier for, Nick or Jenny. Well done, you.

Awww. That was so sad, for all concerned.

This was so sad. Poor Jenny. And poor Nick for his loss.

Me, too. They really dropped the ball on that, honestly.
*g* But they did leave lots of openings for the fans to fill in the holes!

That could easily have been a scene from the show. Very nicely done.

Poor both of them. It should have been explored more in the show.

Poor Nick - waking to an unwanted reality. (As an aside I was impressed by the way the show made Jenny very much her own person.)
