Her thick‚ red hair was soaking‚ and she could barely get her fingers through it‚ and so dreaded a comb. The dream she had been having was quickly slipping away from her‚ and even now she could not remember it very well.

As a matter of fact‚ a good amount of my peers and I have become baffled on whether or not to even refer to it as a legitimate story.
