Jane awoke with a start, her heart pounding and the sheets soaked. “Damned nightmares!â€
“Wha? Whatdyousay?â€
“Nothing, Henry. Go back to sleep. I was dreaming again.â€
“Commere, baby. I love you. Come back to bed, Janey.â€
“I’ll be there in a bit, Henry.â€
“Well, leave the lights on so you don’t hurt yourself.â€
Jane left the door ajar. As soon as his snores started she took her phone into the hall. “Marty?†She whimpered into her lover’s ear. “Marty, come get me. I HAVE to get out of this hell-hole.â€
She jumped as Henry spoke: “Who you talking to, Janey?â€

Lance has challenged us with another great song: Tim Eriksen’s Leave Your Light On

love the interpretation. I knew this song was a good choice. well done, Barb
Oops… I jumped too. Gotta admit though, my first thought (being that I’m old) was ‘night sweats.’
This was a charming peace… real, comfortable with a slight bent toward humour. I enjoyed the read.
Uh oh, no way to explain your way out of of THAT!
Oh, another scene that will not end well!
Nice shakedown at the end! Almost tried to duck for cover m’self =)
