Sleepwalking Past Hope by HIM
A sudden noise echoed through the almost-empty house, causing you to open your eyes. You slowly sat up in your bed overflowed with blankets and decorative cushions and as you rubbed your tired eyes, you swung your legs over the edge of the bed to stand up and check what had made you wake up.
Walking through this house you detested so much while still being half-asleep, you walked past a shadow that had pressed itself against the wall, not daring to breathe until he was sure you were out of sight. And just like that, without even knowing it, you had just passed your last hope of leaving this boring life for one filled with adventure.
