I know it is dangerous, but I fall into the dark abyss of sleep and allow it to take me.

My eyes slowly open, I automatically raise my hand to block the bright, assaulting sunlight. It appears to be midmorning, Great, I slept about twelve hours. I stand up while yawning and scent the air, Nothing, that's a good thing. _I, by habit, start doing stretches. _You know what would be good right now? I ask, mentally berating myself, A communicator. You know, to TALK to people with. That way you aren't ALONE.
