Caught in that netherworld between sleep and waking he was powerless to oust her from his tormented mind even if he wanted to. What disturbed him was that he wasn't sure he wanted to because the nights she came to him were the good nights. When she didn't come he simply stopped sleeping. Pathetic. That was what he told himself. Coincidence was the lie of choice. Tonight was one such night. Most everybody was tucked up in their bunk sleeping.

This series has been as exceptional as Joss'...I hope he's been reading it...I can see all of this unfold in my mind as if our beloved series was still airing...Thank you
You can't take the sky from me
You have been so true the characters its been incredible, I could really visualise everything. You had the expressions spot on, the actions, the words, everything.

I really look forward to the next set.
Thanks again
Hazel
and glad to hear you've got more stories to tell us. We'll be waiting.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
