William woke up, shook from his nightmare. He sat up and walked out the door to get some water.
"I'm too tired to be up right now" , he said as he filled a cup up with water. He turned around as he drank the water and put it on the counter. William headed back to his room and rested, but not able to sleep. He stares at the ceiling. "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep. I can't sleep. Ugh." He looked around, trying to see if there was anything he could busy himself with.  He found a small container of chocolates and decided to eat them. He ate half of all the chocolates in the container. William couldn't eat anymore. He was stuffed. He looked around the dark room. He stood up promptly and left the room, grabbing a candle on the way out. William left to the kitchen and grabbed a match. He harshly lit the match and put it to the candle. It burned brightly and made a crispy sound. William sat down on the couch listening to the candle as it burned out before finally drifting off to sleep.
