You're seventeen years old.
And you're exhausted.
Not the kind of tired that disappears after a good night's sleep.
The kind that settles into your bones.
The kind that makes your eyes burn.
The kind that makes every hour feel heavier than the last.
Because you haven't slept properly in days.
Maybe weeks.
Doctors can't find anything physically wrong.
But none of that matters.
Because you're terrified.
You're terrified of falling asleep.
Because every time you close your eyes...
something is waiting for you.
