Not a wink!!! By Asabe Adamz
.
.
The whole night whirled by. Everywhere was silent, the silence being punctured by the barks of a dog every now and then. Inside the brown painted house all was quiet. The master bedroom;light dimmed was punctuated by light snoring. There was the little girl and her tired momma close together on the queen sized bed. Probably dreaming of the man of the house return from abroad the next day.
The next room was bathed in light revealing clothes and toys strewn around. The not so little boy slept clutching his comics book to his chest. A contented smile on his face; most likely caused by his dreams. Dreams of being a superhero like his comics. The book was gently slipped from his arms and the lights flicked out.
The last room was all tidy and had the appearance of a feminine touch. An open laptop sat on the table showing a wallpaper of a pretty teenager. Beside it lay an empty 1litre pack of diet fruit juice and a cup; evidence of a night spent busy. The bed looked a bit rumbled but was strangely empty.
The living room was all tidy and dark. The curtains been drawn and the light switched off. Save for the glow of the television one won’t have seen a thing. The double door fridge was opened, contents contemplated and banged short. A sinister laughter pierced the darkness; quiet low but easily heard. The screen showed the laughing evil monster getting ready to smack a quivering little boy. Suddenly their was a flash; superhero to the rescue.
There was a deep sigh as the channel was changed to a music one. Soft music caressed the air, as the dark figure wandered about restless. A head filled with thoughts. Finally the figure sat on the floor in a yoga pose and proceeded to do a routine of exercises and ballet dancing. An hour and a half passed, the alarm rang. It was 6a.m.
Another night had passed…. The teenager sighed. and once again she hadn’t slept all night.
Not a even wink….
