Until you kissed my lips and you saved me -

the tom was worn out and needed to rest. so, of course he was in bed. he was ready to nap, but this time he did not have any rum to help him sleep. that was his first mistake, really. he used rum to drown his nightmares. not drinking it never led to anything good. alas, he was to tired from his constant hunting, patrols, or treasure hunting for trinket.

so, he just didn't have the energy to bother getting a bottle of rum. the male let his eyes shut and his body relaxed. his breathing slowed until he was finally asleep. though, true to form, this sleep was anything but peaceful.

-dream-

the young tom was standing on a dock. yet, it was not one of the typhoon docks. this one had a fish market on it and boots was playing. he was chasing two other female kittens. his sisters. one was snow white and the other was a calico. the three were playing until a loud scream made him whirl around.

the wave. his father and mother running to grab them. the cold water washing over them all. his sisters cries for their mom. his cries for their mom. teeth in his scrudd as his father hauled him up onto a rickity wooden plank. the little tom screamed for his sisters and mother, but no sound left him.

-dream ends-

boots was screaming in his sleep until he jumped awake. eyes wild as he looked around him. his breath was ragged and his heart racing. it took him a moment to realize it was just a dream. a memory he witnessed every time he slept.

his one regret.
