He tossed and turned as the nightmare engulfed him. His lips parted infrequently to mumble, "What have I done? What have I done?  Too much… not enough…  Her screams. Oh her screams."


    The alarm sounded and his eyes snapped open. His breath came out in ragged gasps. The world swirled around him as consciousness brought him from ensnaring nightmares into the purgatory of crushing reality.  Nothing had changed.  It was always the same feeling.  Every morning. Most people said that it would pass, but the guilt was still there; choking out fond memories and even sadness.  Nothing had changed… Nothing. Love this novel?
