1–2 minutes

  1. I had the covers tucked around me perfectly.
  2. It was that magic temperature between warmth and cool.
  3. I was in the middle of a perfect dream and I wanted to go back.
  4. I didn't want to wake you.
  5. Once I turned on the hall light and my eyes adjusted I'd be up.
  6. The cat makes such a racket and I didn't want to feed her so early.
  7. The hands that snaked out from under the bed and grabbed my ankles.
  8. I still so much wanted to sleep that I thought I could make it work.
  9. But if I don't turn on the light I will stub my toe on something.
  10. It's actually only number 7.
