5 AM

I’m awake.

What is that annoying bright light I see?

Oh, right, it’s the sun breaking through the single missing blind in my curtains.

Why am I missing one?

Why didn’t maint just send a new one?

No matter.

Why am I awake?

I’m so tired, but I can’t sleep?

I can’t function, really.

So, something is functioning for me.

My body sinks into my blanket as I wrap around into my warm cocoon.

Sweet Nancy, this is soft.

Now, the question still rests.

Why was I awake so early, and why could I not control anything I did?

It wasn’t like I did it all by myself.

How was I able to climb onto my chair to realize that my closet light wasn’t on?

Why did I think it was the closet light when I clearly saw that the blinding sun was seeping through my window?

It like I was watching from the background, dreaming.

Except, it wasn’t a dream.

So, what if this was a sign of something lurking around my room?
