"Had another dream last night. That makes the third one this week alone. It's beyond infuriating and it's stirring up all of these...unpleasant emotions. It's affecting my work; I'm not as alert as I should be, my mind keeps wandering, and it's just wearing me out.

Tonight, I saw Peter. Not alive, but dead. As I found him.

Computer, pause."

Victoria took a deep, shaky breath and let it out very slowly before continuing.

"Computer, resume log.

"I was taking a walk on the pier and he was just lying there, bleeding. When I got closer his body started to decay and then...

Computer, pause."

Victoria took another shuddering breath and put her head between her knees for a moment, starting to feel dizzy. She choked back a quiet sob and tried to calm down a bit before trying to finish her log.

"Computer, resume log."

"His body started to decay and he reached up and tried to choke me. He said that it was my fault for making him leave school early, that if he didn't have to pick me up, he wouldn't have crossed paths with the bastard who took him. I tried to scream, but I couldn't and then it went dark and I woke up.

"I need to talk to the counselor about this. It can't be a good sign. I just want to be done with this crap; it's getting ridiculous.

"Computer, end log. "
