A Bastard Named Sleep - 1. Chapter 1
After months of struggling, sleep finally claimed me.
Sweet! Peaceful! Drifting!
It didn’t matter that the sun was still shining or that the rest of the world was awake… I belonged to him.
I lulled in a dreamless bliss.
He sat on the edge of the bed watching me.
I could feel his eyes on my skin.
His fingers ran through my hair.
Lips softly touched my cheek.
I heard my name on his breath, a hushed whisper against my ear followed by his evil laughter.
“Wake up!” He shouted and slapped my face with his cold hard hand.
His rejection stung like a million heartbreaks.
Startled! Shocked! Awake!
Sleep had eluded me once again.
