.... Don't even ask where this came from. I haven't a clue. Wrote it in about an hour. I never really write horror, and this might be terrible but yeah.
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock
Why is everything so loud? The incessant ticktock of the clock, the wind through the window and – Damn that music box, TURN IT OFF!
Tinkledinkle, baby don't cry. Tickticktick four o'clock. So much noise means no sleep. Baby, last time I slept was over a month ago. Doctors laughed, said I must have slept. No one can survive a week without sleep. But I am no one, that's the point. Tickticktock kill me now. Sleeping pills don't work. Nothing works, because of all the noise.
Listen to daddy snore, wheezesnortsnuffle. Loud bastard. I should rip his lungs out. Oh God, why can't I sleep? Bangbangbang, my head's on the wall, mount it on a dark wooden plaque for all I care. I need it. Sleep. So blissful, I crave it. I think of nothing else but it. Want it so bad, I need it.
Air's too thick baby. So thick in hell, can't breathe anymore. Not breathing. That'll make me sleep. But I can't not breathe – Where is it, where's the rest? Why can't my eyes shut?
Tickticktockticktick. Nooooo, claw the wall, moan and whimper. Why so much noise? It's that portal to hell, its wide open and letting the screech of demons in. Shut it shut it shut up SHUT UP!
I can't think, baby, not without sleep. Whimpersnifflepray. Gotta get rid of the noise, all of it. Why won't the noise stop? Portal. Hell. Wipe out all of hell. Close the portal, gotta close it. Closed, but still the noise! Need sleep baby, how shall I get it?
Don't look so scared baby, auntie's just trying to get the noise to stop. The clock, that must be it. Smash, glass in my foot, blood. Red, bright, shining. Don't whimper baby, auntie doesn't need all her blood.
No, still noise. I can hear it baby, can't you? It's that music box. It's tinkling. It's laughing at me, a thousand pixies and faeries screeching at me from the past. Smash. Die. Shatter. End it! Still, it sings. Gotta get rid of it. Shred, rip, tear, till blood and metal mesh together. No baby, don't look like that. Auntie needs her rest. No baby, don't breathe so loud. No, don't do that! Why?! WHY ARE YOU MAKING SO MUCH NOISE WHEN YOU KNOW I NEED SILENCE?!
Spiteful thing. I knew you were evil from the second you were born. Feathers for a baby boy, feathers for a baby's air. Nothing but soft, sweet feathers to sing a baby to sleep.
Baby's stopped. No more noise. Never noise again but noooooooooo, it's still there. Where's it coming from?
This droning, this white noise – My head. It's conspired against me, it's inside me, the noise, it won't – Wait, what's that? The screech?
It's me. Why am I screaming so? Why am I keeping myself awake? Stupid bitch. Serah? I need to sleep. I'm so tired. Baby's dead Serah, the bastard wouldn't stop breathing. Serah, don't scream for Snow. No, so much noise! Footsteps and yells and screams and wails and phones ringing and where is my gunblade?
Give it back to me Snow, you don't understand!
Please...
Give me a bullet to the head for a softly sweet lullaby; allow it to sing me to sleep.

I have no comment.
Still, I hope you enjoyed! Lemme know what you thought.
Ciao!
