a pair of painterly pale legs rest against an amethyst colored background with a suburban town behind them. Execerpted text from Drew's dream journal is layered in different colors in the background. The excerpt is "March 14, 2020 I’m in my high school auditorium. It’s dark and late at night and I’m really scared. I get a call from someone and it’s really unsettling like a phone call in a slasher movie. Then I realize the person on the phone might be behind the curtain. Part of me knows they probably aren’t and I feel crazy for being scared but I am so scared."
