Last Hope
Standing at the window, watching the sun sinking, night was just moments away. She didn't often pray, but she tried now. Please, let this work! She lay down on the bed, watching as the room around her became more and more shadowed.
Pounding at the door almost weakened her resolve. He can't help me, I have to fix this on my own. The shadows were growing deeper, her eyes heavy, and the light was almost entirely gone. A shadow at the foot of her bed grew deeper than the rest as the last ray of sunshine vanished. Her breathing even, she fell asleep.
