Fallen

Had no idea why I was so tired last night. I fell asleep on my aunt's bed on the floor. The air-cond was cooling me, the tv was blasting, a novel beside me to make me sleep. Before I knew it, I had dozed off.

Surprisingly, no one woke me up or shooed me back to my own bed. I was sleeping happily and suddenly a giant King sized mattress about 15cm thick toppled and landed right on top of me.

I woke up immediately and you know what?

It wasn't a dream.

I was like a squashed meat patty underneath a slice of bread. I squeaked, help, help.. but my two aunties were sleeping like a log. My heart was scattered everywhere like when you throw a stone into water - a gaint splash and then the water spread like multiple ripples.

Finally took a deep breath and wriggled out and pushed the mattress back up. As I was doing that, I hit the fan and it fell off and I woke my aunties up.

Some mumblings, we all went back to sleep.
