He lays there tired of the days stress and hard work. Since the moment his head came clear of a new morning he's been dreading this moment. The clock seems to have moved two strokes for every hour it felt. To this man, sleep was an enemy from birth. As a child he'd cry until his eyes seemed to be drier than the tongue of a man trapped in the terrible and unforgiving desert.

There is no light, therefor nothing seems to slip away from him. However in the moments that follow are what he finally understood. With a painful last breath he took a sigh of relief. Tonight, I shall be in a state I've wanted since childhood. Tonight, I lay my head down in peace to know that this very night, of my first and last goodnight sleep.....
