: HUNG OVER :
Adam Thompson glanced at the clock on his night table. 6:20 a.m. it read. "Ugh...another one of those dreams again" he exclaimed as he clasp his hands to his face.
This had been the third dream he had since last week that didn't make a whole lot of sense. But, what made him question were who were those people that were in those dreams. He couldn't grasp any sense whatsoever. And it didn't help that in those dreams he was blindfolded. The mystery only consumed him. Though, it wasn't much of a help in thinking about it too often. Since, he couldn't remember anything in his past. But, Buddy had said it might take awhile. All that mattered to him was what he knew now and what Buddy could tell him since he'd been working for him three years ago.
'Better get up and start the day' he said to himself. He got out of bed and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
Buddy was making coffee as Adam entered. Adam knew he had been living with Buddy and his wife Mary for the last three years ever since he worked on Buddy's ranch, but Buddy knew quite well it had only been three months.
"Good morning, Adam" Buddy said.
"Morning, Buddy" Adam replied and took a seat at the table.
"You don't look too good...what's wrong?" Buddy asked as he brought to cups of coffee to the table. He put one in front of Adam and then took a seat across from him.
"Thanks, Buddy" Adam replied, taking a sip before he told Buddy what was up. "I had one of those dreams again".
"Third time?"
Adam nodded. "Almost all the same though. The same people. Same situations. Same names..." Adam stopped for a moment and thought about the names. "Logan...Max...and.."
"There was another person?"
"Yeah...there were always three. But I didn't know the third one's name until now. Logan, Max and...Zack." Adam said.
Buddy didn't know what to say. All Buddy could think of was that Adam was remembering his past by dreams. When Adam told him about the first dream, Buddy had called Logan and told him about it. But, Logan had assured Buddy not to worry about it. Since, that incident never happened and that he might think it's just a weird, twisted dream. But, advised Buddy if his dreams become serious that it keeps happening then to call him.
"Do you have any idea whose these names are? Have I ever spoken of them?" Adam continued when Buddy said nothing.
"Huh...um...no you've never said anything about these people. I don't think you have anything to worry about" Buddy replied, trying to make Adam forget about the subject.
"Then why do I have these dreams, Buddy? I just can't let this go" he stammered.
"I know...I feel bad that I can't answer your questions." Buddy said feeling guilty that he was lying. But he couldn't tell Adam the truth.
"It's okay Buddy..I'm just glad I can talk to you about stuff like this. Sorry for snapping at you. I know you have other important things on your mind right now."
"It's alright, Adam. No need for apologies. It's what I'm here for...to listen"
"But, I should be the listener, you know? I mean...how's Mary? How are you doing?"
Mary, Buddy's wife had been in the hospital for three days. She had a heart attack.
"I..I'm doing fine..just fine. Doctor said she'll be out in five more days."
"So, the surgery went well then?"
The doctor had performed surgery because one of her arteries was clog.
"Yeah, Doc said there were no complications and all regularities are in order. She just need time to recover."
"That's good. I'm glad." He smiled and then started to think of the dream.
"Alright...come on let's get this morning started" Buddy said, after a moment of silence. He could tell that Adam was still hung over by the dream. 'I think this time it might be serious' he said to himself. He knew what he had to do after Adam went up to change.
