The devil repeats the rules as I roll the dice,
He's says that I'll get all I want,

Beads of sweat lingered onto my flushed face as the sunlight reflected onto the glassy mirror across my blackberry tinted bed; and then straight upon my eyelids, enforcing me to wake.

A groan escaped my throat as I tried to cover my eyes in an attempt to seek refuge with the fluffy pillow that was under my head just a couple moments ago.

After several minutes of fighting an internal war with Mother earth and losing against all odds, I gave up as I lifted my head from under the pillow.

The water sprinkled onto my small form, drowning me whole. I desperately began to scrub myself, trying to get rid of the reek of blood that lingered onto my bare skin.

After a while, I exited the bathroom clean and fresh, the drowsy feeling no longer haunting me.

My bedroom was a mess, not that it was the most elegant one in the whole mansion to began with, but I mean a literal mess
