( you were wondering one thing only as you lay down on your bed. why was your mattress so warm lately? it was probably because the summer air, you say to yourself, resting your head on your pillow and trying to close your eyes. but you can’t. no matter what you do, you can’t fully go to sleep. )

( you try everything. drinking warm milk, taking some melatonin, and putting on some rain noise, but it all had no effect. as you start to get angrier and angrier, you suddenly hear wet, fleshy noises from underneath your mattress, and some small tip taps on your wooden floor. )

( as you slowly open one eye, you see on the edge of your bed what seems to be a bald forehead, with a small appendage next to it, ever so slightly peeking over. )
