    About this ebook

    “OK. Get dressed”...my clothes were pieces of decaying rags. I stood there in the nude looking at myself in the mirror hanging on the door. Sheila had put it there a few months before she died.
    I searched the apartment and managed to find a pair of jeans and a hoodie that had been wrapped up in paper...newspaper. Somehow they had survived whatever had happened. A pair of boots mostly leather had survived as well.
    Back in the kitchen I found bottles of water...a case of twenty four...Something told me I would need them.
    I didn’t panic...not yet....That came later but by then I had good reason to panic. In the mean time I went out to try and find out what the hell was happening...or....had happened....and how I had managed to sleep through it.

      My eyes closed and I drifted peacefully into the sleep of a tired man who had slugged his way physically and mentally through a very long day. I would choose not to add any details to the reason for my weariness. You know enough to get my drift….Though I will admit to have had a libation….or two before crawling into my bed…..well more actually but still I am sure you get my point…

      As far as I can remember I slept soundly and was not required to wake up through the night for that annoying mid-sleep pee…which…in hind-sight might have
