Why was it that Jodi's eyes hurt? She put down her book, and rubbed her eyes with her fingertips. Opening the book again to the right page, Jodi saw the words on the page seem to swirl. Every time she blinked it took a few seoncds for her eyes to focus. When closed her eyes, they hurt less, and opening them hurt more.
Jodi guessed it was her lack of sleep that hurt her eyes. Every night for the last week, she'd woken up. She wasn't dreaming anymore. There hadn't been any monsters in her dreams. But, in a weird way, their where monsters IN her body. When she woke up, her legs would be numb, and have pins and needles. She couldn't move or walk on them. She felt paralyzed.
This to Jodi was worse then a nightmare. It was a real-life nightmare. It was as if her legs had been cut off while she slept, or eaten but bed bugs. Although it only took a second or two after Jodi had woken, for her to realize she did in fact have legs, the sort sudden shock was unbelievable.
Jodi questioned to herself if she should go to the hospital ward. After small silent debate, she told herself that is the same thing happened again that night, she would go the the Ward first thing in the morning before class. It would be good to talk to someone about her problems. But then again, the Hospital Ward was a place that Jodi had seen many sad a moments in. Jodi was over that now. She was a better person now.
Jodi was sitting in the Enchanted Garden. Placing her book into her newly homemade bag, she looked up at the weather. Since she's been sitting on the bench, maybe 2 or 3 hours, the weather had gone down hill fast. When she'd first walked to the Garden, it was probably 3pm or so.
Now, the trees and plants around her where moving in the wind like the Whomping Willow, and leaves rolled along the ground like little animals trying to find shelter. Looking up into the sky, Jodi noticed what looked like rain clouds.
Rain would be a welcome for Jodi. She liked rain, and not just for the cliche reason of 'crying in the rain'. Jodi found that when it rained, it was easier to meditate. That is was easier to think. Jodi needed more time to just sit down and relax. Jodi found it easier to sleep when she had rain hitting against her window in her dorm. Just like when she was little, she liked the sound of the vacuum cleaner going, or the washing machine spinning. It was relaxing for her. Weird she knew. But if this rain would help her get to sleep earlier and easier, she wouldn't complain, even a bit.
