I craved its poison. I craved sleep from which I'll never wake. But I couldn't have it, anymore. Whether the cup slipped from me or I slipped from it, I couldn't tell.Down the empty corridor, only the wind sounded. Every natural breath was spent. As a livingghost, I wandered.I unlaced my boots and let them fall to the ground, then unrolled my stockings. I wanted to feel the floor beneath my feet--but I couldn't feel it at all. My body and mind were numb, merging with the cold stone of the floor and walls.I found my way into the bed chamber. Four dolls lay in their beds, with waxen faces and still limbs. Four dolls who will never again open their eyes. I climbed into my own bed and pulled the covers over. My arms folded across my chest automatically.No sleep came. Something restless banged inside my head like a drum. Something that wouldn't allow me to remain here like this. Something that refused me peace.~*~
