Sleep. It's all I want. I'm tired, so very tired. The noises stop me from resting - the continual sounds. Are they in my head? Or are they real? I don't know. The tappings, the high pitched squeals, the whispered sighs. Where do they come from? I first heard the noises not long after I had fallen down the stairs. It was only a small trip, just a stumble really, but I banged my head on the wall as I fell. It didn't hurt too much, I didn't really notice it. There was a tiny bump with a small purple bruise on my forehead, but it didn't hurt. It's the only thing I can think of that's caused the noises (voices?) that are seeping into my head. The relentless tapping that keeps me awake. The whispers that talk to me, telling me things I dont want to hear. The more I try not to listen to them, the more I hear them. Whispering, sighing, chuckling quietly.
All I want is to sleep.
