I am a fan of Joshua Scribner's unusual, generally supernatural short stories many of which kindle offers for free. In this tale, Marsha is worried about her lover who frequently screams at night "Nothing happened," but when he wakes he says that he can't remember his dream. One night, the two go to his parents' house so that she can meet his parents and spend Christmas with them. They are not home, but will return in the morning after visiting his grandparents. When one of her daughters can't stop coughing, the lover leaves her to rush to a pharmacy to get Benadryl. While he is gone, she discovers why he screams at night. What happened that causes him to say, "Nothing happened"?
