A jolt of sound awakened my consionce from the silence which previously sung. I edged towards the side of my bed through the black mist to turn the ringing alarm off. Silence fell. Suddenly, I felt a rustle between my bedsheets, a sharp object pierced through the delicate linen and seized my flesh, a scream lingered within my throat but would not depart from my mouth. I reached for the light but it was too far away, the pain remained in my flesh and my momentum forced me to reach for the light. Light fell. I looked down towards my leg... on top was a cat who's purr began to sound.
