i'm on a queen sized bed trying to stay sane.
it's located right in the middle of the master bedroom.
monsters of navy night enter through the cracks of two windows.
they swarm and swim in the air around the bed.
if i step off they'll consume my foot,
they'll latch on and climb up my ankle.
up my thigh and to my stomach.
there- i just know it will drill a hole through my gut with their wispy, light fingers.
the monster of navy night would enter my blood stream, and drift in my veins.
it would drift to my brain, and sink in there.
that would be it's new nest.
i know that will happen,
so i don't step off the bed.
i keep my legs crossed, and my hands in my lap.
all i can do now is either wait for someone 
to enter,
the navy night creatures would get scared off.
or i could wait for them to get tired.
but i could get tired as well.
i'm pretty sure they can just climb on the bed.
i'm pretty sure they realize that at the
same time i do.
oh no, they have started the climb.
more spill from the cracks of two windows.
i can't see the room anymore, it's just navy night surrounding me.
i can feel whispers of hands roam on my skin.
suddenly, all at once they grip on, grip on tight.
the touch of them is longer cold, wispy, and light.
it's warm, too warm.
it's hot, sizzling.
every piece of flesh they come in contact with ignites in a blue flame.
my body is burning.
i used to be able to smell the scent of books, and boxes, but now- now all i smell is burning
flesh, skin,
my burning body.
i'm getting burnt to a crisp, i feel only pain, extreme pain, it drifts in my veins,
in my blood stream.
my stomach aches a little.
my head feels warm, though.
i feel sleepy, i need to take a nap.
the door opens and hits the wall with a thud.
i sit up startled, and take in my surroundings.
i'm on a queen sized bed, and it's pushed up against a plain white wall.
but somethings missing.
i feel like i've lost my sanity.

i take naps after school sometimes.
