And then...

...

(The sun shone brightly, she shut her eyes. She took a couple of steps and realised she can't walk with her eyes shut. She opened them and quickly walked to the other side of the road where the trees shadowed the earth. There's no one around. She walked to the end of the road, smartly avoiding the sun in her eyes. The road split two-ways. A left, a right. Terrified of making the wrong choice, she turns around and finds the sun at the end of the road and trees on the left side of the road, beckoning her to their shade. The sun shines brightly, and she shuts her eye. She takes a couple of steps and realises she can't walk to her eyes shut. She opens them and quickly walks to the other side of the road where the trees shadow the earth. She sees someone in the distance. She knows its someone because she can hear he(she)(it) call out to her. 'Over here!' She walks to the end of the road, smartly avoiding the sun in her eyes. The roads splits two-ways. This time, unlike the previous many times, she is not terrified of making the wrong choice, she turns to her left and walks a distance to find a wooden cot with a cotton mattress covered by a blue bedspread with her blanket folded neatly at the foot.)


... there was nothing,




























but sleep.
