Not a night goes by without awakening from a nightmare. Spending time in the hole wears down your soul, pardon the pun. Even though I have been free for almost a week, I can't escape the dreams. The sounds of my captor going about his day. Relentless tapping of a keyboard, mundane conversation about something called "Cougar Football", and the gum chewing...the guy must have a jaw made of steel. You would think the night would be the easiest, the jail silent but for the sounds of the other unseen prisoners. This is when I would fear sleep, that the captor would return and torture me in my dreams. Now I must sleep, The Ride of the Valkyries is the only medicine I need.

Relentless
