There be sae many night tae remember, some bring a smile tae mi lips, some a tear tae mi eye. Many come tae me when I sleep as nightmares, leavin' me soaked in sweat and breathin' sae hard ye'd think I'd jus' run a race wi' the devil hisself. Still others come as reminders of those things I've lost. I cherish those memories for wi'out them I'd nae hae tha' last night wi' Claire or family and friends long gone tae keep me company.
In Ardsmuir I used tae dread the comin' of the night. Layin' in tha' dark cell, listenin' tae the sounds of others around me, I couldn't help but blame mi'self for the deaths of those from Broch Tuarach. If I hadn't learned the lessons of mi Da sae well, the lessons of Dougal and Callum, maybe they would still be alive.
The nights leave too much time tae think and on those nights, I can only lay here and hope tha' it'll pass quickly. No matter how long the night lasts, no matter what it brings wi' it, I know another day'll come and wi' it, the start of a cycle that seems never endin'.
