Deep Sleep

It all started the year 1999 it was a hot summer in Florida. There was enough sweat to start a lake. I josh, was 23 had a fiancée she was Nicole. I woke to be in sweat. It dripped over my eyes eyes to make my vision odd, or it was just from my awake. I stumbled around the house looking for Nicole. I saw y-her and she was looking at bills. Her long thick hair swayed as she turned around to look at me.

“Josh I’m done!” She said throwing the papers at the table, sitting down and grabbing her knees. “We can’t even afford to live here anymore!”

“It’s fine, I can just get another loan from … well you know who.” I cried

“Oh really, and when you don’t pay him back! You can’t even say his name!”

“It’s fine, pfft, your the one getting hurt from this!” I yelled there was a silence a tear ran down her face.

“Like I don’t care! You know what I can’t stand here and see you hurt yourself like this. Goodbye!” She cried throwing her engagement ring at me. I didn’t care then I just don’t know why. I mean we had broken up 2 times and gotten back together but deep down. I knew I was a jerk. I went on my morning jog and then a man, started fallowing me. I ran, but he did too. At one point I saw a car flipped over. The same car as Nicoles, at first I thought it was a coincidence but then I saw Rick. Rick was my loan shark. He was driving away in his car. My heart dropped I guess I passed out I woke up and operantly in 1750 I didn’t know that at the time, so I was confused about the way they dressed. “Oh my your awake now!” A woman about the age of 20 said. “We’ll are you hurt, I mean your dressed oddly, but you look fine,

I was so entertained by her beauty that I forgot she was talking . “Oh yes I am fine,”

“Ok well I am fine but where are we?” I questioned.

“Oh my house,” I still looked confused for a second “New York honey”

“Oh yes, but why are you dressed like that?”

“I think I am dressed pretty modern, I mean shouldn’t you be the one for that question. It’s the year 1750 for crying out loud. I don’t know why but I just knew she was right. I decided to take her on a date. I am serious when I say I fell in love with her in a day. I don’t know why but it just felt wrong. I mean what about Nicole. I still had to spend the night with her I mean I didn’t have a house I went to sleep as I woke up I saw a man he started screaming and running to me screaming “I’m sorry I’m sorry I can’t put you back in time, I’m stuck myself I don’t understand I don’t understand it.” He froze into stone I saw something he held. I grabbed it my veins began to turn black, I dropped it fore I felt a pain when I held it. I set it down and read it it showed a number 1750 and a place New York. Maybe I could go back but it turned so fast I went to 1820 and New York I woke holding it I dropped it immediately and a woman stood over me “Help I can’t escape him I don’t want to be a slave anymore” I couldn’t just leave her there but I couldn’t take her I mean I needed to go home. As I got up i saw her baby bump. I needed to help her but as soon as I opened my mouth she said “He died, and I can’t watch my baby get sold.” I agreed and we set foot we went to the Conner of the fence where no one could see and climbed the fence I used gardening tools that were sharp to get between the bricks when we left she said “We are not done, we must get to the north fore someone could take me we found a horse but no carriage so we took the horse but I didn’t know how to ride but soon we got there. And baby Nicole goodbye I must go see you in the hospital
