by Phil Brucato She can hear him screaming in the room next door. It’s the forth time Ryan has awakened this way in the last week, and it’s not a new experience. In the years since Sean walked out the door, Ryan has had nightmares of uncompromised ferocity. And they seem to be getting worse all the time. He’s on suspension again this week. Another fight, another boy sent to the doctor… for littering, or some such. It’s the third time this year, and if it happens again Ryan will have to be boarded off. Oh, we are freakin’ crackers, aren’t we? he thinks. Voices in the head and the whole damn thing.
