    PROLOGUE He‟d hardly slept a wink. His demons kept him awake. He tossed and turned as his wife snored softly beside him and their youngest child slept peacefully in her cot at the foot of their bed. In the distance the early morning trains had started running. The world was making plans to wake up as he struggled to sleep. His head felt swollen from the fears, the worries and the thoughts that vied for attention inside it. The back of his neck was sore, itchy or just a combination of uneasiness. They were signposts to his nemesis - stress. This could lead to a stroke, the family doctor had warned over and over again. “Avoid these at all costs,” the soft-spoken GP genius had said, looking each time like he‟d never himself had a personal brush with insomnia other than what he learned at medical school. The man was a picture of good health, everything the sleepless sod tossing and turning in bed now looked like he‟d never be. At some point he cried out like someone waking up from a bad dream. Only he wasn‟t dreaming because sleep continued to elude him. He was wide awake: “God help me.” But even the Almighty, it seemed, was catching up on His own forty winks at the time. Except for the staccato breathing of the two souls in the bedroom with him, and the rail commotion on the other side, everything was all quiet. Any given cemetery would have been nosier at the time. Even his two dogs, after a night on the prowl in the yard, were getting ready to knock off and catch up on some snooze after concluding their nocturnal obligations.
