Juliet

All I hear is beeping. A slow, constant,

Beep

My hand is heavy as if it's being weighed down, I try to move it, but it's no use.

Dalton? I ask, but I don't hear anything in return. Can he hear me?

I have to open my eyes, but they are so heavy and sleep feels so much easier than fighting. I'm cozy here, wherever I am. The bed is soft, and the blanket is warm and comforting. I feel like I can sink into the bed, I don't even have to get up.

And then I feel myself fall back to sleep welcoming me, and death waving at me. He stretches out his hand to me, and I take it.
