Dream Deep

Chapter 1

She shivered with fear; far more than the icy breeze that blew from the air vent in a white, secluded room. She was afraid to lay her weary eyes to rest and reluctant to pull the stale, over bleached blanket on top of her stiff cold body. She didn't want to believe she was going to stay there. She didn't want to give anyone the impression that she was comfortable. She just laid on the firm twin size bed and looked off into the bare room. Her eyes were sore and burned as if she had squeezed habanero peppers into them. Every time she blinked she cringed from the pain. She had cried for too long and too hard. How could she not? She was thrown in a room with no one, no company, no music, and no hope. She was left with only the voices that ran through her head; the ones that would come as they please and overstay their welcome. Oh and not to forget the black objects that looked like spiders teasing her across the room. She hated them... they scared her. It was them who had put her in this hospital. Only she felt it to be a living hell. She felt darkness surround her. One of the night nurses turned out the light and left her to suffer in the loneliness that she for so long possessed. There was nothing she could do, for her body was too weak from all of the fighting and her eyes were too tired from all the crying. She couldn't lift her head; it was like a magnetic pull from her body to the springs that poked at her body from inside the mattress. Her only choice was to lay there, in the dark, lonesome room that blanketed her presence. She closed her eyes and endured the pain for it was far better than seeing the darkness prance around the room like a drunken ballerina. She fell into a deep sleep and shivered through the night.
