My wife and I leased a lovely cottage in Big Sur, California, for a few nights. She awoke panicked and crying (something she seldom does) after a bad dream. I got a bad feeling after getting up and telling her we could go for a drive.

The farther we traveled, the better we felt. We ended up staying in Monterey for one night. The cabin we were staying in burned down. I’m still getting shivers writing this years later.
