WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a calm, peaceful story used to aid sleep.
Utilise smooth rhythm and consider your sentence structures and syntax, avoiding phrases that would be jarring or throw the reader out of the story. The content of the plot matters less than the tone.
Sleepiness
It began again.
That feeling of relaxation.
And drowsiness.
As I begin to feel all the stress slip away.
Along with my eyes.
Struggling to stay open.
Them wiggling and jolting.
To open and close
Consistently.
As I try to stay awake.
Despite my failings.
My body begins to shut down.
Paying extra attention
To the comfiness.
Of my snug bed.
and comfy pillows.
I begin to think of the day.
All the decisions made.
The mistakes,
Along with the good.
As I count to 10.
In my little mind.
Before it happens.
My thoughts begin to drift away.
Weightless as soft whispers.
The world fades to shadows.
As I glide down.
Gently.
Sinking into the realm of sweet slumber.
