• For the umpteenth time that night, I tossed to my side to face the window where the sharp moonlight streaked in through the covered curtains, casting a murky shadow on the walls. I couldn't sleep.

• Now facing the window, I could spot the silhouette of the trees outside the windowpane swaying to the midnight breeze, making me feel nervous, so I had to toss once more, now backing the window.
