Vague, blurry memories invaded my dreams as I slept my way into unconsciousness. My whole body felt heavy as I buried myself into the warmth of the blankets, all the stress of the day melting.
I had sworn I thought I heard someone calling my name from far away, but I was too tired to move or respond to their call like I normally would have. It had been so long since I’d been able to sleep so deeply.
But sleep only pulled itself farther and farther away as a persistent ringing in my head grew louder. I felt like I was chasing after a distant memory, running through a tunnel but the end only grew longer with every step.
The silence disturbed, and the ringing grew louder and louder, blaring like sirens until I had no choice but to fling myself up, trying to catch whatever had woken me. I grumpily surveyed the dark room, blearily blinking my eyes as I heaved a tired sigh.
