Insomnia

Insomnia reigns in this room of my mother's house. I am loved, safe - awake. Listen to the symphony of sleep, the cicadas, the nocturne patter of padded feline feet. Unseen in the night, I lay on the shadowy floor and fade into my childhood. It's only four more days. When I am with him I sleep in peace.

If you notice, the number of words in sentence one and six match; two and five match; three and four match.

I was pretty pleased with that. I also really like "the nocturne patter of padded feline feet."

Hope it gets published on 6S!
