The dreams always are the same, even during wake period; he would still recoil in terror.

His dream had become inescapable.

It  was 8:45P.M.Friday evening , Jake had just laid across his sofa, switch on the television set to try to catch a show or two before drifting on to sleep like he normally would do. Pinwheel laid beside him like any faithful dog would do. Pinwheel was a Yorkshire terrier, a divorce gift from his wife. Jake work at Saint Mary Hospital as one of the head nurses in the ICU department. He had been working there for the last four years after moving to New York. He and his wife had separated after fifteen years of marriage it finally ended. She said Jake had no time for her, spent too much time at work, which he did. Jake was very dedicated to his work. Perhaps to dedicated to his work to where he could not see that his marriage was failing. The phone rung and it was Nurse Linda Hopper on the other end.

“Jake?”

“Yeah”

“Sorry to be calling you at this time of night.”

”It is not that late, I was not asleep yet, what can I do for you?        

“Jake, it’s been a bad pail up in the Brooklyn tunnel and we need you there to help.”

“How bad is it?”

“Fifty cars pail up is all I know right now, and a lot of people are hurt. There are ambulances and some Doctors from different hospitals there on the scene already.” Just then, another voice comes to the phone.

“Jake this is Doctor Margareta, I’ll meet you there. They say that a lot of people are hurt, some cannot be move until they are cut from their cars, meet me there.”

“I’m there already”

Jake hung up the phone, rang into his room to change into some scrubs, and shoes, grabbed his keys and headed for the door. Pinwheel was standing at the door with his leash in his mouth thinking Jake was going to walk him.

“Not this time Pinwheel, Maybe after I get back, Stay here and guard the apartment. “

Pinwheel Jump up on the chair next to the window, then onto her pillow that Jake had fashion in the window for her so she could look out the window when she wanted to.
