John slept comfortably in his favorite chair. He hadn't been able to sleep, so he had gone to watch a bit of late night television. It always managed to lull him off to sleep, and this night was no different. Usually Mary stayed asleep, but that fateful night she woke up, and walked passed their youngest son's nursery. She saw someone, she assumed was John and decided to go get something from the kitchen.
That's when John would be seen sleeping in that old battered chair of his. She ran up to see what was going on, and then there was the scream. The scream that caused John to wake up with a start. The scream that sent him running up into the nursery to see nothing at first. Just his infant son laying awake in the crib, so he went and touched his cheek. The scream he chalked up to some late night program playing with his head. That's when something dropped down, and he looked up. When he found the horrific sight of his wife cut open, on the ceiling. Then the fire starting, and getting his son out. When he tried to run back and save her, and failed.
The night he regretted waking up and going downstairs, and that he would regret until the day he died.
