I burst through the cloud cover above the poor pilot below me. I told my wing-man to flank above the enemy and look for his partner. I maintained my speed as I saw my wing-man flash away to my right, I knew he was hunting the enemy before he told me on the radio. I dove towards the enemy and locked onto his plane, the enemy realized I had locked onto him and tried to shake away as my missile streaked towards him.... 
 
 `` GARY! Wake up!'' 
 
 Gary awoke from his memory/dream thanks to his wife's gentle insistence. 
 
 `` The family is here. Get up if you are n't dead.'' Gary's wife like to remind him he was old. 
 
 He pretended to sleep as he watched his wife stomp out of the room with a rue smile. He got out of bed slowly as his bones cracked loudly to his own ears. Annoyed that he was awoken out of a dream from his past greatness he stomped downstairs after his wife. 
 
 Gary felt better than he had for a long time. The nag had woken him up at the best part of his dream, the part right before he shot down the enemy plane. He rarely had vivid dreams of his life experiences. 
 
 He hugged his son and daughter in law and asked them about work in passing. That was when he saw the cake sitting on the table with 7 candles. His heart clenched as he saw his granddaughter sprint towards him with a huge grin on her face.
