Mid-Night Dilemma
Am I awake? Had I actually slept? I was fighting the urge to check my watch but the curiosity of what unholy hour this was got the better of me.
Slipping my hand out from under the sleeping bag I paused.
No.
Just close your eyes, go back to sleep it's too early for this.
As I closed my eyes, my thoughts swirled attempting to deduce and desperately seeking an answer I knew would destroy my chances to sleep again this night.
Just sleep.
I can’t.
Inevitably the unbearable urge won and I was cursed with the answer I sought.
