…suddenly Belle was slipping out of CaI’s hands falling backward and over the railing toward the sparkling waters below. Cal leaned over reaching out for her, her eyes never leaving his, as she slowly fell down, down, down. A panicked expression on her otherwise beautiful face, she screamed, “Cal! Save me! Come and SAVE ME! CAL!!!”

The dream had started out lovely enough. Cal had been reliving a particular beautiful date with a woman he had loved many years ago. But the date ended quite differently in his nightmare from what had actually happened.

Cal woke with a start his pulse and respiration racing.

Nearby, his monitor beeped with an incoming communication.
