Description
He was back at home, but for a moment it felt as though he were still falling. Curtis jerked awake, sitting bolt upright. This sent a shockwave of pain through his body, which made him gasp for air. Cursing, he felt his heart thudding in his chest. He was beginning to remember where he was, but it was still slow progress. This was not the first nightmare he'd had; even in the hospital he'd been jerked awake by the feeling that he was falling to his death. The redhead had dealt with PTSD since he was young, but this was almost like a whole 'nother animal. His heart rate was slowing, but he was still unwilling to go back to sleep. Lying back, Curtis stared at the ceiling. Nothing to do now but wait...pray the panic subsided, and that he'd get even the smallest slivers of sleep.
