It was a warm spring night.
She awoke at around 3 a.m and sat up in bed.
She leaned over and lit a cigarette in the dark.
She was supposed to be awake at 8 a.m to go see family for Easter.
Her dog was snoring at the foot of the bed underneath the covers and her boyfriend was still awake playing video games in the living room.
She listened to the sounds of explosions and other unidentifiable noises as she took a drag from the cigarette.
She was comfortable but sleep seemed hard to get as it often is at night when you work third shift.
She stubbed out her smoke in the ash tray and laid down.
Time to try and fall asleep again.
