A Peaceful Night

Seraphina stared at the candle flickering on her bedside table. She had been struggling to fall asleep for what seemed like over an hour. Unfortunately, the silence and darkness of the night along with the fact that she was all alone, didn't allow her to relax even for a moment.

When the night descended, she returned to her room after dinner with her husbands, ready to sleep early. But it was only when she lie down on the bed, did she realize that her fear of the previous night's incident was still lingering within her.

She wasn't even able to make herself close her eyes no matter how much she tried to calm herself down. She found herself turning and shifting on the bed, struggling to control her dark thoughts.
