I sit quietly on the rooftop, Under the starlit sky, Watching through the midnight silence.

Not a single mortal was around except a girl, looking towards me with those eyes, like dark black pearl. I stopped the horse about to jump, she just stood there like a big stump. Just then I heard a distant sound, saying something like wakeup you big hound. I ignored it yet looking for source, just then, it repeated its course. Then, I remembered it to be the wakeup alarm, as all surroundings dissolved losing its charm. I stopped the alarm and tried to get up, but it seemed a plan to stop me was setup. I put my hands on both side and pushed myself up, But on the way, it stopped cooperating and just gave up, I started falling...
