I'm in the room. Dark.
Sleepy. What time is it? Five?
I can't see the clock.

Maybe I'm dreaming.
Can't see my hand. Where is it?
In front of my face?

A small red light glows.
I get up. Stumble and fall.
What did I trip on?

Moving forward now
on all fours. The ground is wet.
It smells like vomit.

Have I woken up?
Was I awake before this?
Too many questions.

The red light shut off.
I feel a door knob above.
I can see nothing.

The door creaks open.
"HEY! I'm using the bathroom!"
a booming voice sounds.

Sorry. I'm sorry.
I didn't realize. Stupid.
Little brothers sick.
