And finally I'm caught up. This is today's. Yes!
Inspiration comes from the idea of insomnia (something I have experienced a lot lately), and how I can play around with the meaning of falling asleep and feeling rested.
Enjoy! Review!
8 Days- Insomnia
"Insomnia-Inability to fall asleep or to remain asleep long enough to feel rested."
There was peace. Soft, warm silence. There were no thoughts, no worries, and no fears. There was no need for those trivial things. And then a thought ripped through my solace. Am I dead? Then the jarring memories-lungs ready to burst from lack of air, air leaking out of my suit. There was something after that I couldn't quite remember-something to do with the peace.
It was the voices that reminded me of my eyes. I could open them and see where I was. That proved more difficult than I thought, and when I finally could open them the light was so bright, and everything was so hazy. Who are those people? I wondered, not recognizing anyone. Something within me told me that this was very wrong, that I shouldn't be here. My thoughts began to race as I couldn't place where I was. What had happened? Was I dead? Where was Kaidan? Where was I? Then I was being pushed, and none of those things mattered. Only sleep, only rest.
But this time, there were thoughts. I should wake up, my mind suggested. The rest of me wholeheartedly resisted. I craved the respite. The peace. You're not done yet, my mind tried again, and again to no avail. The galaxy still needs you. Kaidan still needs you. His name was enough. Kaidan wassomething that I wanted even more than peace and that I would give up my own happiness for. That I loved.
And so I struggled again to open my eyes, to move, feeling overwhelmingly exhausted.
Over the loudspeakers of the room I was in came an unfamiliar accented voice.
"Shepard. Wake up, Shepard."
No rest for me yet.
