Wake up my sweet...Part Five

My name is Mitchell Cairns, I am 42 years old,

I have a wife named Ray...Rachael. We have been married for 15 years.

I have two daughters named Rebecky, no Rebecca, Becky! and Cyn...Cynthia, no that's not it. Sid. Sydney! My second daughter's name is Sydney and she is 11 years old.

I have been selling insurance for 17 years.

We live on a hill.

It has grass.

I remember a dog but I don't think it's ours. It barks a lot.

Damn dog.

I work, I have a wife, I HAVE KIDS!

I HAVE A LIFE.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?

I AM NOT A BABY

I'M NOT! I'M NOT! I'M NOT!

Awesome story!!! I like the short clipped paragraphs. The structure lends to the struggle, so to speak.

I am thinking that this guy was reincarnated, only he remembers a lot about his former life. I also think that what he does remember lends to what is important to him, namely family. The blurry stuff is stuff way down on the priority list. I also get the feeling that as a reader, the mystery is unfolding for me exactly how you want it to, I don't think I am ahead of the story as it unfolds. Nice work, TWP.
