This short read had a great plot that was well written and characters that were so well detailed that I was totally glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page!
David Calloway has lost his job and his relationship with a woman who cheated on him. Now he’s experiencing a form of sleep terror.
He wakes each night screaming after seeing himself with bloody hands, sometimes holding a knife, and the body of a girl covered in blood.
Has he really killed someone?
After unsuccessfully treating David with pills, he suggests the Dream State clinic.
What happens from there surprises them all ….
This is a short story/novelette of approximately 50 pages … a fast, easy read. The characters are as fully formed as they can be within a short amount of pages. The ending was an unseen surprise.
