It is half past midnight but I couldn’t sleep. I kept on twisting and turning in my bed but it just won’t do, so I decided to sit up. I wait there in the dark listening to the rustling of the leaves from the branch of the tree brushing my window as the wind blows hard and whistles in the silence of the night.
