Nick wakes up to see himself back in the desert he gets out of his cot cautiously as if the ground beneath him was going to vanish in a moments notice. A large polar bear wearing a white wife beater and fatigues over his left eye there was a small gash and his left ear looked like it was brutally torn off by a lawn mower. Nick smiled as he walked up to the Bear. "Morning Boris how are you this morning man?" Nick said and smiled as he is pulled into a big hug. "Nick my friend I am well we have eggs and real milk not that cheap powdered crap they try to pour down our throats!" Nick laughed as he walks towards the mess tent. "Yeah but it does not spoil easily and its cost effective you know how brass are." Nick said with a smile as the second they step foot out of the tents a loud bang resonates in the camp and Boris is in front of Nick as a red stain spreads on Boris's T-shirt as he falls face first on the sandy ground."Boris!" Nick rolls him over and tears off his shirt to see a bullet hole right next to Boris's heart. Nick scrambles to put pressure on the wound and he feels his friends heart beat fading. "Boris don't you die on me you bastard you have a family to get back to!" Boris just smiles and holds the red fox close. and he draws nick closer to his muzzle."Live my friend and make a family." With that, Nick sees the life of his friend fade from the world.
Nick wakes up with a start as sweat pours pour from the bed. He turns to see Judy asleep with a happy smile as she snuggles close to him. He turns to the clock as it reads 12:47. With that nick slowly gets out of bed and makes his way over to the restroom he turns on the fossett and splashes the cold water on his face. As he stares at himself in the mirror. "I look like hell." Nick laughs humorlessly and he turns off the water and dries his face. He turns back to the bedroom and sees Judy searching for him whimpering when she could not feel his fur. He moves to the bed and gathers her in his arms and has her rest his head on his chest. She cuddles into him as his heartbeat and warmth lul her into a peaceful sleep. He stayed there for what seemed like forever with a rabbit who seemed to worm her way into his heart in some magical way. "I'm lucky to have you Carrots. " Judy just smiled as she holds onto him tighter. The morning came quickly as Judy makes them both breakfast and then heads out to get some chores done. "I will be back with dinner ok nick I love you." Judy said blushing so hard it reached the tips of her ears. "I love you too carrots stay safe ok " Nick smiled as he kissed her. When the door closed he went over to the Tv and flipped through the channels as his dream from the night before crept up on him like a spider looking for prey. He tried to resist the feeling of sorrow and self-hatred that entered his heart. A voice started to stir in his head. "She is better off without you Nick they all are. You're own mother and sister left you because they knew you where nothing but a murderer and when Judy finds out do you honestly think she will stay? Why dont you just end it?" Nick clutches his head as the voice grows louder and louder as he starts to agree. He gets up from the couch and heads to the bathroom and opens a counter drawer to retrieve a straight razor. He then removes his cloaths and folds them neatly on the bed. He then returns to the bathroom and starts to draw a bath and unlocks the razor. He then slowly gets into the tub. The blade slowly bit into Nicks fur covered skin as he slid the razor across his arm. He let out a slow hiss as he did it three more times on each arm. He then dipped his arm in the warm bath.
the door opened as Judy entered."NICK!" I'm back! I brought Thai food." She got no answer back. As she made her way further into the house, The sound of running water filled her ears and the coppery tang of blood assaults her senses. She runs over to the bathroom only to find Nick in the bathtub filled with the volatile mix of water and blood. "Nick! " She called out as she ran to Nick and dragged him out of the tub with all of her might. She then wrapped the wounds to the best of her abilities and ran to the phone. Nicks sight begins to blur as his final thought was "Take me to church."
