Another Sleepless Night - A Short Story.

Water drips from the ceiling.
She's left the tap on again.
I get up off the futon, it's not like I'd been sleeping, just trying, and failing.
As ever.
She always seems to leave the tap on if I stay on the futon, I don't know why, but she does.
I open the door and start climbing up stairs, not bothering turning the lights on – I know the way.
I open the bathroom door and, sure enough, the tap is running and the bath is overflowing.
Another sleepless night.

Although this narrative isn’t about me, it was written on a night that insomnia had really hit me quite hard. The backstory is totally up to you to think – it would be great if you decided to post your view of it in the comments. In fact I challenge you to come up with a backstory and leave it as a comment, there are no rules to the challenge – the writing can be any format you want, as long as the idea could lead into this at some point or other.

Not sure where you were going with this other than as the title of the piece, a reason for not being able to sleep, could be turned into a nightmarish romantic story of death and depravity LOL
