Weekly Contest #348
CW: Substance abuse, violence In an unordinary world, what is normal? Jack was having a peaceful Friday evening. No work. The sky was clear.

In fact, the last I remember it was ajar like always and I was in the hall standing on the opposite side. My heartbeat is slowly becoming steady, my cheeks feel sticky and wet from my eyes. The soft cotton of the covers underneath me is bringing me some sort of comfort akin to calmly falling back to sleep after that initial panic of waking up in...
