valium

She sat there wondering what to type; noticing her breaths were slow and heavy. She thirsted for something, water, love, consistency... meaning?

She removed her fingers from the keyboard and slipped out of bed, her feet hitting the dark floorboards with a familiar thud. Shivering a little in her brightly coloured bonds underwear, she slowly made her way to the kitchen for some water. With a shaking hand she filled a cup from the sink. The cold shock of the water running down her wrist and elbow caused her to jerk; the cup slipped from her fingers and shattered in the sink.

She blinked, and there she was in her bed once again. However, she could feel a stinging sensation in her finger. Absentmindedly she brushed her hand against her leg, glancing down in surprise at the sharp pain as something moist rubbed against the bare skin.

Red.

She held her hand up to her face and plucked a shard of porcelain embedded inside the laceration. A lazy slither of blood seeped out against the white of her skin. To others it would appear she were staring intently at the sluggish flow, however her mind was racing so fast she barely registered as it dripped onto her silky pink sheets.

The sudden screech of tyres broke her reverie.

"Band-aid, band-aid," she muttered, casting her covers aside; still wondering what had happened between her last adventure out of the room. 
"Where did I leave them?"

A moth fluttered in through the open window, hitting her directly in the face. Startled, she fell backwards, twisting her ankle- and knocking the laptop off the bed. The resulting thud knocked the keys lose from the board. As she reached for one of the keys, she blinked.

All of a sudden, she found herself once again underneath the weight of her laptop.The soft brush of a tail informed her that her cat had crawled in behind her; and the young tabby immediately began to purr. She resumed her fingers' pose at the keyboard, and began to type again.

   dear diary... today i oticed...

Something was missing. Her [N] key!
She gave up, rolled over, pushed her laptop aside, pulled up the blankets.

An empty bottle rolled to the floor.
