Dreamless


Dark, it’s so dark I can’t see my hands in front of my face.  I am perfectly still, listening for any sound.  There is nothing to hear.  My eyes are closed and I focus on my other senses.

My nostrils flare as I inhale seeking any stray scent in the air around me.  Nothing!

Where am I?

I reach out with my hands and feel empty space.  There is nothing there.  My mind drifts, wandering in the blankness of forgetfulness.

What’s that?

There is a flare of light as my husband turns on his bedside lamp.

“Mind if I read?”
