The silent man, the psychiatrist, the nurse and the medic spent the night keeping watch on the restless sailor. His tossing and turning agitated the wolf who in turn whined his distress. Shortly after midnight, the injured man awoke for a few moments only to fall back into a feverish state of sleep.
All was calm for a few hours until he started thrashing about, fighting his nightmares. Pictures and images that threatened to consume him, his mind, his soul. He grappled with the darkness, knowing he was lost, calling for help. In his own way, the silent man tried to help but was cast aside. Going where only angels dare to tread, the wolf jumped up on the bed, pushing the sailor back into the pillows, grounding him once again to the here and now. It forced the sailor out of the dark tunnel yet another moment so that he came crashing to earth crying out, "Sue!"
