You still can't shake off the knot in your stomach or the pressure in your throat... let alone the sadness of reality. You were snuggled up in bed with your wife, Taylor. When your little girl bursts into the room saying she had a nightmare, you smile sleepily and let her snuggle between Taylor and you...and everything was beautiful, and everything was perfect, and you could feel your little one's arms tightly wrapped around your body as you looked into your wife's eyes...you could feel the weight of the cats around the bed,warming your feet in the harsh winter...when suddenly. Beep, Beep, Beep... The sound of the alarm clock startles you out of bed...your heart on the verge of leaping out of your chest and a feeling of unease spreads throughout your body...it was all just a dream...of course, Taylor was sleeping next to you... but she was your girlfriend...and the little girl was just an illusion created by your brain to play a cruel trick on you...and that perfect life had vanished in 3 beeps...and the weight of reality came crashing down like bricks.
