When the Dream Becomes a Nightmare

Be careful what you wish for! When he was younger and more naïve, Bernie Roper wanted to sail around the world, he wanted money, he wanted romance, and a beautiful wife - all those things most of us wish for when we are young. Unlike most of us, he got his wishes but paid a terrible price when each of his dreams turned into a nightmare. In the end, he was lucky to get away with his life intact, unlike others who bought into his dreams but paid the ultimate price.
