Nightmare
Ace
I woke up
drenched in a cold
sweat. All I
could think about
was Jack.
I’d had a terrible
nightmare.
Jack was dealing
drugs down
somewhere near
Miami, I
think.
He accidentally
dealt some
to a narc, though.
Something
about a guy named
Darius, too.
Jack is no longer
safe, and I
can feel it like a
cold black
wind.
I have a feeling
I might not
be able to
hear from
my twin for a
long time.
I can feel that he’s
running for
his life. He’s full
of fear of
being caught by
the cops.
He had never meant
to get caught.
Stupid Darius.
