Beyond the Pain

It is 8 days, 0 hours, and 7 minutes since I woke to the sound of Erin’s voice.

“Mr. Lachmuth.  Mr. Lachmuth!”

“Can you hear me?”

I didn’t want to open my eyes. This dream was freaking weird but at least I  was asleep.

The voice continue, “Mr. Lachmuth. I need you to talk to me. Do you know where you are?”

Fuck , I thought.
