Most nights I sleep. This night I can't. My eyelids refuse to close, my mind refuses to turn off the switch. When that happens I know that its going to be one of those nights, where I just pull an all nighter. Ugh, I hate these nights, where I stare. And stare at the white ceiling. I stare at it and imagine the little static crawl around aimlessly. Sometimes they form a little picture. Half those times I see a little monster that opens its mouth and I see even more static crawl around. Almost all the monsters I see are all the same. Two statics eyes that are placed in the middle of its static face, which is connected to its static legs that move around. Almost like a spider. Sometimes the monster looks directly at me and it never blinks, ever. It's mouth looks like  a curvy line that never moves, only the tiny little specks do. The smile that it does to me is a thin line, like the Cheshire cat. It smiles, but I don't. I hate to stare into the endless void of its unmoving eyes. Every time I try to ignore it and shut my eyes, I feel its static eyes pierce through me. I shiver, I hate this feeling. That's why I don't let it pierce through me, I get up and off the bed where the bed bugs can't bite.
