His mother is smiling widely as he comes through the door and runs to hug her, his father close behind, planting a kiss on her cheek.

When he wakes up, she is screaming.

His father is smiling, his eyes sparkling with unshed tears as he pats his son warmly on the back and tells him how proud he is.

When he wakes up, his father is waiting, the sparkle in his eyes one of malice.

An angelic beauty is kissing him gently, her brown eyes warm and full of compassion as she whispers in his ear, "I love you."

When he wakes up, he is alone.
