Ohio, 14 May 1988 C.E.
Anna Milton is supposed to be napping.
But her parents have discovered, in the two and half years of her life, that Anna is not much of a sleeper. There's always something more interesting to be doing.
And it's not like people can be made to sleep.
But they can be made to stay in their beds, and stay quiet, for an hour.
Anna is sitting up in her bed, whispering a story to her teddy bear, and waiting until she can get up.
