Half-Moon Mouth, Caterpillar Lips

I've been avoiding my bed like a cat avoids water, seeking sleep in all the wrong places.

I woke up in a car, my head aching, my arm asleep, annoyed. It was cold and I felt heavy, like an anchor drawn into the seat. I couldn't escape. I needed to scream, I needed the car to go faster so that I could shed the evidence of my nightmare. When we got home, I pushed and pushed the weight out of the car. I used all my strength, my fists clutched shut, and my teeth barred to make it go away.

Once I was free, I didn't want to speak again.
