COCOON OF LOVE AND SECURITY

William emerged from the bathroom, the soft fabric of his pajamas falling loosely around him as he made his way to the bed. With a sigh, he exercised his arms, the rhythmic movement a futile attempt to exhaust his restless energy. As the room grew dim with the flick of a switch, he settled onto the bed, hoping to find solace in the embrace of sleep. But sleep eluded him, the minutes stretching into an eternity as his mind danced with thoughts that refused to be stilled.

Tossing and turning, William found himself ensnared in the clutches of wakefulness, the weight of the night pressing down on him with unyielding force. With a resigned exhale, he surrendered to the wakeful hours, his hand reaching out to illuminate the room once more.
