Tonight, a story by Frederick Paul. Tunnel under the world. On the morning of June 15, Guy Burthart woke up screaming. It was more real than any dream he had ever had in his life. He could still hear and feel that sharp metal ripping explosion, that searing wave of heat.

He sat up. Mary? Mary! Mary! Mary! Where are you? Where were you? In the kitchen cooking breakfast. What is it? I don't know, a dream I guess. An explosion. Did you say an explosion? Yes.

But that's the dream I had. What? I dreamed there was a big explosion and then something sort of hit me on the head. Oh, it's supposed to be. Maybe there really was some sort of explosion and it started us dreaming.
