He opened his eyes and sat upright in his darkened room.

The child's cries were fading into the ringing alarm of his phone.

With strained breaths,
he reached out to silence it.

He pressed the screen. The surface felt cold.

A sudden heavy quietness settled over the room.

He opened his eyes.
He sat up in his darkened room.

He was awake again.
