Memory Item: Sedative

Twilight Tower series: memory 3

Every day, time passes like normal. People wake up and go about their lives like normal. Night comes like normal. And everybody sleeps like normal. I can’t do things like normal. So, I guess that makes me a little weird. I don’t remember how I got to be like this. I’m not sure when it started. But one day, I finally realized that the nights seemed to last forever. At first, it didn’t really bother me. It wasn’t anything to worry about. But I think I’m losing my mind. The medicine the doctor gave me is starting to wear off. I finally understood what they meant when they said that trying too hard to sleep only ends up making it more difficult. So, after endless, futile attempts, I just gave up trying to sleep altogether. But walking around town in the dark doesn’t seem to be helping much, either.
