Beyond All Four Walls
I lay in the dark wide awake, the silence around me lay thick, the sound of nothingness surrounded my head. I was the only one left awake in the accommodation. I drew the curtain a little to peer out. No-one outside either, I could just go on a walk. I slipped out from under the covers and hung my head, everything felt empty, the pain that was still inside subsided a little. Remembering a hazed memory of the night before, I had taken a small amount of opioids just to make the pain go away and sleep peacefully. It was so silent. So silent.
