The rhythmic patter of rain on the windowpane serenaded me as if nature hummed a lullaby. I nestled deeper into the cocoon of the blanket on my big bed. My eyelids grow heavy and with every breath, I drift further away from reality. My thoughts, once scattered like autumn leaves, now gathered in the gentle current of drowsiness. I surrender into the infinite realms of my subconscious where my mind weaves vivid dreams of kittens and seeing all my loved ones I have lost again.
