The midnight battle

The midnight battle
with eyes half closed i slowly scan the room for any signs of activity
lights switched off the sun still hidden from view beneath the big black mountains in the horizon the moon powerless in its fight against the darkness stuck in one corner of the sky destined to its fate
it had been a long stuggle a long and hard escape from the vampires of the land hungry and tired from the day long survival game i had finally succumbed
with eyes half closed i slowly scan the room for any signs of activity
hungry and thirsty i try to crawl across the room i try to escape from this "dark dungeon" where i now lay in search of food
hungry and exhausted unable to crawl away from the room i slowly reach inside the backpack to quell the pangs of hunger
a high-speed chase and a constant battle of wits had left me with very little time (to restock) had left me with nothing but empty candy wrappers
unable to put up a resistance (anymore) tiredness and exhaustion taking its toll i finally give in i finally fall into darkness once again!

note: One of those classic scenarios, that most of us face regularly. Tired and exhausted after a hard day's work, you come home and fall asleep asap. Eventually at some point in the night, you wake up hungry. Half asleep and half awake, you search for any leftovers/snacks around you. Finding nothing and tired to get out of bed to "prepare" something, you fall back asleep once again :)
