Comments on 'Breaking the Silence'_I am running, and running...toward what? Faith. I’m running to her. But the more I run, it seems, the farther I get from her, not closer. She is calling my name...like she needs help. "Bernard, Bernard? Where are you?" is what she is calling. "I'm right here! Faith! Over here!" I yell back, but she doesn't hear me. Now I begin to panic. What if she's hurt? What if...then the voice got louder, closer. But I was still getting farther from her. "Bernard? Bernard?" is what I hear...and the smell of buttered toast with cinnamon, My favorite. Just then, in my dream, I ran into an invisible wall, waking me up._
As my eyes come into focus I see Faith standing beside me. I rub my eyes and sit up. "Hey," is all I can manage.
"'Morning," there was silence and then, "here, this is for you. I figured you'd be hungry..." Faith’s voice trails off.
Taking the food I say, "Thanks. I am," more silence, "sit, please."
She didn't. Silence.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you leave?" Faith’s voice broke the silence.2008-05-13T02:01:18Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/30326Comment on Breaking the Silence<p>I can’t believe I missed all of these sequels! I am all wacked out on my sequels! I need to catch up on them all and once I think I caught up, nope. I like how he didn’t leave, just shows how much he loves her.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30326?basename=619712008-05-13T02:01:18ZBlusparrowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/blusparrowComment on Breaking the Silence<p>Very nice telling of a disorienting dream and then an equally disorienting wakening.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30326?basename=619572008-05-13T01:08:42ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
