Sunlight trickled through the poorly drawn curtains, illuminating a darkness that pervaded my recent days. My head throbbed angrily, as I struggled to open my eyes. An unfamiliar bed. I panicked, where am I? Momentarily, I felt very vulnerable, exposed, broken. I squeezed my eyes shut attempting to shut out these thoughts. Fighting the pain, I gingerly lifted the soft brown sheets, not daring to look for a while. The soft brown fabric caressed my skin, creating the illusion of nudity in my head as I peeked beneath it, hurriedly shutting my eyes again, letting my mind process my own skimpily dressed body illuminated only by dispersed brown light. At that moment, I never felt so relieved to find myself still dressed, albeit in a total mess. Then it dawned on me - I was safe. The pain returned in waves again, as I let my heavy head rest on an overstuffed pillow. If there was any danger or threat to my being, it would have occurred when I was dead to the whole wide world, therefore I must be in a safe place with a kind person. Logical leaps, but how else would you expect a silly silly girl to think. My eyes smarted from smudged make up and body ached. Memories of a debauched evening gradually slipped into the realm of consciousness. I stretched like a cat, tears welling up in my eyes as a worsening migraine dominated my thoughts. I sat up, surveying this strange new place, attempting to discern a clue as to how I ended up here. The only familiar sight was a dawning Sky, shining through all shadows in Her brightest most glorious brilliance.
