   Summary

   He’d had a nightmare. Like he had done pretty much every night for the last five years. And like he expected to for the rest of his life.
   No amount of time could erase the island. No amount of time could erase Simon.

   or ~ even after years have passed, Jack cannot forget Simon, and cannot escape his grief.
