Weekly Contest #369

Hailey jerked out of her sleep. She looked around to get a grip on reality, but as soon as her eyes met the morning sun beneath the window story, she turned away in an uncomfortable squint.

To Live and to Die by the Law

Weekly Contest #219

They say that you should count your blessings if you can sleep peacefully at night, in total silence, with no disturbances. Rare phenomenon indeed, but I am quite certain that they mean “external disturbances”, noises like cars or motorbikes, or even the occasional drunk passerby outside of their house in the middle of the night.
