Sometimes sleep is impossible.
I don’t know why. I don’t know how.
If little creatures creep into your mind, they will destroy it.
How do they get in? Who gave them the key?
This is very perplexing, especially since you consider yourself to be a very careful and clever person.
You think you have the only key. And even that you have hidden from yourself.
Little do you know, someone else has a key as well.
You don’t recall ever making a copy. You don’t remember giving someone a key.
You accidentally gave it away.
Who cares? This person must be very careful and clever, as well, to be able to access such a well-guarded key.
Indeed they are.
They are very clever. Perhaps even clever-er than you.
They take the key and open up your mind. They didn’t know it, but the creatures crept in. The creatures made a home in your mind.
They slept and slept and slept.
Finally, when this key-holder decided to lock everything back up and throw away the key, because they found nothing in your mind worth knowing, the creatures wake up.
They are trapped in your mind.
And they won’t get out.
This person is not so very careful after all.
