The sheets were soft and luxurious to the touch as he climbed into the expansive bed and rolled around in the midst of the darkness. He'd never felt linen like it, so delicate and comforting in such a grand room which lay beneath the stars. He popped a pill to help him sleep and gazed upwards into the black sky up above as the stars danced majestically atop a canvas of darkness. Soon he would fall asleep, comforted by the soft, dense warmth of a dream far away.
