Gary often woke up in the same nightmare.

"Help me! Gary! Raoul! John!" She screamed. "I'm drowning! Save me!"

And he would run to her. He would run and run and run.

Each time she would drown and he'd be slipping on ice.

He'd see her face, accusing him. Telling him he let her die.

"You let me die! You failed me!" She'd scream, pointing her finger at him.

And he'd just sit down and cry, defeated.

"Alanna!"

He'd wake up with her name on his lips. A name from a memory long ago.
