The worst part was the numbness. She was numbed down to the point she could not do anything. She could not sleep. She could not cry. She could not read. She could not write. It felt as if even the most basic, most fundamental action was strenuous for her. All she could do was to lie down and stare at the ceiling, watching the clock slowly ticking away her time. She wanted to **** herself. But how? She wanted to give it all up. For who? In her numb state, even sleep betrayed her. She could not move. All she could do was to lie down and let the numbness sink into the deepest layer of her skin.
