HOLD FAST TO DREAMS

 

Half asleep and more, Daniel leans against the wall, eyes closed as he pisses into the toilet, vaguely hoping that he’s not dreaming, not soaking the sheets in reality. He doesn’t flush; he might wake himself up.

 

Should have turned off the computer and gone to bed three hours ago.

 

He opens his eyes enough to find his way to the bed. Climbs in, pulling the covers up. He sinks into the pillow and into sleep.

 

Warm weight presses against his back, a voice murmurs, "'bout time,” and Daniel knows he’s still not dreaming.

 

Or the voice would be Jack’s.
