Just A Dream
It was just a dream.
One night, years ago, I killed a man in a fit of rage. I immediately felt regret. What if I were caught?
Waking up was a relief.
The next night, I returned to face the aftermath of my nocturnal crime. I was arrested. I stood trial. I was sentenced to life in prison.
This was not over a single evening. It was an episodic nightmare that I returned to repeatedly. I forced myself to stay awake in order to avoid the inevitable but eventually the inevitable won out.
Was it real? It really didn't matter.
