Dear journal: I had that dream again. It is the same nightmare that I have always had. The dream starts with me walking into Pete Maxwell's room to see what is going on and who he is talking to.

I call out Quine es and then I see Pat Garrett light a candle. We talk for a while. I try to get him to let me go. But he says that he can't do that.

Then he raises his gun to shoot me down. As his gun fires and the bullet hits me in the chest I wake up just before I fall dead on the floor.

I know that I have been through a lot worse than what I had went through in the old west. But I keep having the same nightmare about Pat Garrett shooting me down. I wake up from the dream sweating and shaking with a cold fear.

I don't know why I keep having the same nightmare every night. I haven't slept in months. Because I am scared of having the same nightmare again.

So I just stay awake. Black Hawk says that my not getting any sleep just isn't good for me. But Black Hawk doesn't keep having the same nightmare.

Night after night. I don't even know what the dream means and I why do I keep having it? Maybe one day I will find out about the dream.

This is Billy Bonney sighing off for now
