I see my brother draped in sweat and ask "are you okay?".
"Yeah just a bad dream" he says like its no big deal.
"What about" I ask curiously since It was obviously tense judging by the sweat on his face.
"Well...its very complicated and confusing but okay" he continues. "So I was by the government building which was in flames...and I don't know why but you were inside". My face turns bright red with stress and fear. Why the government and why me? I have heard outrageously wrong things about the government, and all the people that have told me this have never been seen again. He goes on and says "you were screaming for help and when I finally got to you I woke up."
"Wow... umm pretty crazy". I didn't even think about what I said, I just wanted the conversation over. Before I can even walk out the room Anix's phone rings. I am already worried because Anix never gets phone calls unless it's an emergency or serious. I turn around quickly to see my brothers face flushed in tears. I walk over in tears not even knowing what's going on but I hate to see my brother in pain.We embrace beautifully but still grieving over who knows what, until he finally tells me whispering in my ear
"mom and dad are dead."
