title: Shadow of a Dream the Impossible Dream
author: Kuhner, Erica
description: One simple dream that is all Erica has ever wanted, was her one dream to come true. Erica never asked for much out of life, at least she didn't think so. So when Erica met the one man she has been dreaming about her whole life she never thought that someone from her past would utterly destroy everything. * * * * * * * * * * "Try that again and I promise it won't end so well for you," he sneered. "You may as well go ahead and kill me, because I'll never give you what you want." Erica screamed at him. "It's ok Erica I'll do what he wants," Makiel said. "Makiel Nooo " Erica screamed. "I'm sorry Erica I know you don't want me to do this, but I have to get us out of here no matter what the cost is," Makiel said. * * * * * * * * * * Feeling tired she decided to go to bed, plus she could lay there and stare at Makiel's photo. She walked into her bedroom and gazed at his picture trying to wish him back. When that didn't work, she turned to put her phone on the nightstand and that's when she saw the note with the necklace. Hmmm, what's this? Erica thought. She picked up the necklace and smiled. Makiel must have held on to it until he could give it back to her. She quickly put it back on knowing she would never take it off again. Then proceeded to read the letter.
