for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
Who: Ben and Juliet Linus
What: Ben attempts to apologize. Also, a dream is discussed.
When: Early in the morning, following this unfortunate incident.
Where: Linus Residence
Status: In Progress
Rating: PG-13, to be safe. Also, there's a link to a video that contains some violence.
It was early and the sky was still dark, but Ben Linus had been awake all night anyway, so it didn't really matter. Yes, he had spent the night on the couch. Now his back ached and his legs were stiff, but it was nothing compared to the crushing emptiness in his heart.
God, what had he gotten himself into? All of it: the lies, the gun, Brandon's pills...
He refused to sleep, because sleep carried with it the possibility of dreams. Last night's had been the worst of all, with his daughter visiting him as a ghost this time. His worst fears were now confirmed: if these dreams were trying to tell him anything, it was that his daughter was in danger. But it was his fault she was dead. Her hatred for him had been tangible.
[ Ben's Dream ]
Oh, Alex. I'm so so sorry.
Ben pushed open the door to the bedroom, where his wife's body lay. He watched the blankets rise and fall with her breath. Without knowing if she was asleep or not, Ben moved deftly across the room and climbed onto the bed. "Juliet... Juliet..." He gave her arm a gentle shake. He waited for her response.
