Sleep

i dont know where else to share my stories, so id thought id put one here on this site. i dont write much, but its been peaking my interest these past few days. i wrote this one earlier today. It was starting to get cold. The windows shook violently in a way that told Eden the world did not agree with her choice. That’s okay. The world never did. Or would for that matter. This moment was frozen, the air getting staler and quite frankly, unbearable. Yes, not a condition suited for breathing.. First, she took off every single piece of clothing suffocating her tired mind. Her slender fingers grasped the bed sheet, her body shaking. Every sheet and blanket was taken off the bed and folded nicely on the dresser, where she then proceeded to take out all the clothes, fold them and tenderly put them in a large plastic bag. Eden was almost done cleaning her room. She slowly gazed upon her living space. This room was not suited for living. With a small sigh, Eden gingerly picked up her old stuffed bunny. The thing stared right her. The dark brown pools of glass looked straight into hers and read her mind. Eden dropped the bunny into her trash bag. Now the room was clean. Water followed a large collection of small white pills. Good. No, great. Her thoughts slowly flooded from her mind, also good. Tired now, Eden shuffled across to her small twin sized bed. The mattress creaked loudly from age as she slowly spread her pale and thin body onto it. It was time to go to sleep. Eden anticipated finally getting a good night’s sleep. The exhausted girl started to giggle. The giggling turned into confident laughter, and the laughter turned into manic howling that echoed throughout the house. She couldn’t stop at the moment and the big hand on the clock kept on going, the small hand in steady pursuit. Eden’s body quickly shot up as she started retching onto the floor. This is wrong. It is time to go to sleep. She lied herself back down and forced her mouth shut. Enough with the games. She felt herself drifting away just as the suns ray peaked through the window, warming her body. Finally, I’m gonna get some shut- eye. This was Eden’s last thought as she finally got to get some rest. She finally got some rest…
