I glance at the front page, and then I look again. There’s a photo there. I grab the paper out of his hands, completely ignoring his protest, and I look closely at it. I’ve seen her before.No.No. It can’t be. It’s not possible. The girl in the picture looks exactly like the girl in my dreams. It’s not possible, except that I’m seeing it with my own eyes. I start reading the story. “Seventeen-year-old Amelia Morgan–high school senior–found murdered–body discovered on Old Tree Road…” No, no, no.I read it again, and the words don’t change. Of course they don’t.No. Yes.I just start wailing, shouting nonsense. I’m standing in the middle of the room screaming my head off. Ray comes out to me, puts his hand on my shoulder, starts to tell me to calm down and I push him away, shove the newspaper in his face. “It’s her! It’s her! It’s her, and she’s dead!” She’s dead, she’s dead. She’s dead and I saw it and she’s dead and–and–that’s all I know. She’s dead and I saw it and it’s all real and–and what?
I don’t know, so I keep on screaming.
of medical school, Sara Alderson has a lot on her plate. She
definitely doesn’t need to start visiting other people’s dreams
again. Unfortunately for her, it’s happening anyway.Every night, she sees a different person and a different dream. But every
dreamer has one thing in common: they all hate Dr. Morris, the least
popular professor in the medical school, and they’re all dreaming
about seeing him – or making him – dead.Once again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a
murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects
to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris
every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do.**only .99 cents!**Goodreads * Books2Read
“Get out of my room, you whore!” I hear myself shouting at someone, but who? There’s nobody here. Brian’s in the shower, I can hear the water going. And why would I call him a whore? That makes no sense.Not Brian. I was dreaming. I saw – God, I saw Barbara! The woman who lives next door to us. The married woman who lives next door to us. I saw her dream. And she was dreaming about seducing Brian. “Whore” is far too good a word for her.She's dreaming about my husband. My husband! Who the hell does she think she is? She's got her own husband! She should be dreaming about him, not Brian. Granted, I think her husband is an ass and I’m pretty sure she does too, but still. She can't have mine!This is very strange. I can't remember ever feeling jealous like this before. But then again, before Brian I never had anybody worth being jealous over. I know this is completely irrational. I have nothing whatsoever to worry about. I'm in his heart and I always will be. Me and nobody else. Especially if last night was anything to go by. Still, I’m going to keep a close eye on her. And if she so much as puts a hand on him, I'll cut her heart out. I know how to do it, too. I’ve been reading ahead - the instructions are right there in Grant's Dissector. Page 75. I think I’ll mark the page with a post-it note. Just in case.

Congressman, and he’s dreaming about a “scary man in a big black

walked into the office for her first day as a partner in her own
medical practice. And then the police showed up and arrested her for
a crime she couldn’t possibly have committed. Twenty four hours
later, after a horrifying day and night in jail, Sara comes home a
different – and completely broken – woman.Clearing her name is her first challenge, but that’s nothing compared to the

“Dad, don’t say it. You don’t have to.”“Yes, I do, Sara. I know in my heart it wasn’t an accident. And I also know it happened – he did it because whatever happened in those two days, it ate away at him until – until there wasn’t anything left inside.” Does he think that I’m like Uncle Albert? Is that why he’s telling me all this?He grabs my arms, turns me to face him. “If I had kept at him, made him talk about it, maybe he could have worked through everything. Maybe getting it out would have helped him keep hold of himself. Maybe he wouldn’t have,” his voice finally breaks, “Sara, I don’t want to lose you the way I lost my brother. I failed – everyone failed him. I’m not going to fail you, too.”“I’m not – Dad, I’m…” Does he really think I could ever – that I’m so far gone? That my one night in jail compares with what happened to his brother? To getting shot and seeing friends killed right in front of him?“I know that more happened to you than we saw in the courtroom,” he’s gripping my arms tightly. “And I know that if you don’t talk about it, it’s going to – you will end up like Albert. We’re not meant to carry things like that around inside us. Nobody can do that, not for long.”“What do you want from me?” I’m fighting to keep my voice level.“Talk about it. You don’t have to tell me or your mother. But you’ve got a brother. And a best friend who might as well be blood family. And your husband. You know how I feel about him. If I could have picked out someone for you, I wouldn’t have dared to ask for someone half the man Brian is. You have all these people in your life who love you. You have to talk to someone, and you have to tell it all. And I’m going to keep on you until you do. I love you too much to lose you.”
He really does think I’m that far gone. And the truth is, I’m afraid he’s right.
