The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind spins like a top. My thoughts collide in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This ageless cycle exhausts me, eroding my energy. I yearn for sleep, but it eludes just as I touch for it.
