I woke with a start. The icy numbness from the dream chilled me to the core. My head pounded. My stomach lurched. I made a break for the bathroom and dropped to my knees without a second to spare. The pain from doing so never registered.

Each violent spasm of my stomach brought up all of yesterday and anything still in there from the day before. I puked. And I heaved. I heaved until there was nothing left but bile and the echo of my acid-burned throat in the toilet. My temples throbbed under the strain of keeping all of the grey matter inside.

Eventually, my tank was empty. I clung to the bowl with all the desperation of a man lost at sea. Slow, deep breaths brought with them a sense of calm and allowed me to gather enough strength to crawl into the shower. I managed to turn the water on before slumping against the cool tile wall. Water from the overhead diffuser rained down on me. Heat and steam chased away the chill in my bones, but no amount of water in the world could dispel the image of my body being pulled under in that evil lake.
