He was feeling sorry for himself again. Down lower than he should let himself go, but he couldn’t help it. John knew he should go to sleep, but he dreaded having the dream again. His therapist had told him that he should try to take control of the dream, whatever that meant. The dream was always similar – John was driving and Kayla was in the passenger seat. He knows he is going too fast but can’t slow down, and the brakes won’t work. Kayla is yelling at him to slow down, but he is powerless. Of course, he hadn’t been in the car with Kayla when the accident happened, but he still feels responsible, even though it was not his fault. At least that's what his therapist says. But John thinks that if he had been with her that day as planned, none of this would have happened. 

Instead of sleeping, John found himself crying again. The grief and depression came in waves; some days were better than others. The nights were always hard. But it had been almost a year, and John knew that he had to keep up the pretense and move forward. He felt so empty inside and longed to hear Kayla’s voice again. It felt like a part of him was missing, and he wondered if he would ever be okay again. He sighed and went downstairs and poured himself another bourbon. Then he fell into a fitful sleep in the recliner. The dream didn’t come this time, and he was grateful for that.
