A Surprisingly Peaceful Morning
Deep sleep claimed me quickly, and I didn’t stir until the morning arrived. Bright rays of light pushed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air.
I stretched my limbs under the warm duvet, feeling surprisingly rested given the events of the previous night.
The dread I expected to feel was absent. Instead, a sense of calm washed over me as I watched the sun climb higher on the wall.
