Madison came awake with a gasp. Her pulse hammered in her neck as panic
settled in her chest. No matter how many breaths she took, she couldn’t
seem to get enough air into her lungs. As the walls began to close in on her,
she tried to count backwards from ten. She couldn’t seem to remember the
sequence of numbers.
In that instant where she almost bolted from her bed, she felt Charlie’s
cold, wet nose.
His presence allowed some of her panic to dissolve; although, she still
felt as if she had thousands of bugs crawling over her.
She pulled herself together and looked at the golden retriever. “That was
a bad one, huh?”
He laid his head next to hers on the bed. He had become her best friend
in the last two years and her constant companion. She really didn’t know
what she would do without him.
“Why don’t we get up for a few hours?”
Charlie’s tail thumped on the bed and she smiled. She might not be able
to deal with a man in her life, but then, all she needed was Charlie to keep
her happy these days. She slipped out of bed. When she stepped into the
bathroom, she turned the light on and off three times before heading for the
toilet. After relieving herself, she turned the light off again, three times, just
as it had been when she turned it on.
She looked at Charlie, who was still lying on the bed. “How about some
toast? And Chocolate milk. Well, chocolate milk for me.”
He followed her to the kitchen, waiting as he always did for her to turn
the lights off and on three times. He knew this routine well. She knew it had
more to do with the job he had of keeping her from completely slipping
over the edge, but she would pretend otherwise. She was just a normal
woman with a normal case of insomnia. Because if she thought about it too
much, she might just fall apart. Again.
Grabbing her favorite bread, she pulled a couple pieces out. Then she
looked down at her companion and grabbed a third piece.
“Eating me out of house and home.”
He licked his lips and gave her his regular doggie smile. With a sigh she
went to the refrigerator to get butter. It was going to be a long day.
“SO, you had another nightmare last night,” Dr. James said to her. He had
told her to call him by his first name of Ed, but it just didn’t seem right. Ed
was a guy who fixed your car or had your back in a firefight.
He was a middle-aged man who had gone a little soft around the
middle, but still looked healthy. His dark brown hair had threads of gray
throughout it and he always dressed just like she expected a therapist to
dress. Relaxed pants, casual shirts. Nothing seemed to ruffle his feathers.
“I have lots of nightmares.”
