The night I will never forget.

It was a few years ago, July 15th 2005. I woke up a sweaty mess. I had one of those feelings, like I knew I had a crazy dream but just couldn't remember it. I had a glass of milk, checked in on my little boy, Kansas and the last thing I remember was looking at the clock and seeing the time was 2:43AM. I woke up exactly two hours later by a bright light. It was almost too bright to even look at. All of the sudden it was dark again. I ran to Kansas's room and he was standing by his window, just staring. "Kansas babe, is everything alright?" He replied with a snore and I assumed he had been sleepwalking. You know, it was his 26th birthday and I let him have some wine. The sky was a eerie shade of lavender that night. I helped him back into bed and kissed him on the cheek. The next morning I asked Kansas if he remembered anything, and he said " I had the strangest dream. I was surrounded by bright yellow lights inside of a room. I don't even know how to describe it!" We chuckled. But, while Kansas, sweet Kansas was pouring his granola, I noticed something. A scar. It was a strange shape. A triangle connected to a star in some way. I looked at my own arm. And there, before my very eyes, was the same shape.
